A society or a nation constructed nonviolently must be able to withstand attack upon its structure from without or within.

Once one assumes an attitude of intolerance, there is no knowing where it will take one. Intolerance, someone has said, is violence to the intellect and hatred is violence to the heart.

The strength to kill is not essential for self-defense; one ought to have the strength to die. When a man is fully ready to die, he will not even desire to offer violence. Indeed, I may put it down as a self-evident proposition that the desire to kill is in inverse proportion to the desire to die. And history is replete with instances of men who by dying with courage and compassion on their lips converted the hearts of their violent opponents.

Dharma is one and one only. Ahimsa means moksha, and moksha is the realization of Truth.

We may not go about parroting truth and nonviolence and steering clear of them in our daily life.

This civilization is such that one has only to be patient and it will be self-destroyed.

It is the duty of a non-co-operator to preach disaffection towards the existing order of things. Non-co-operators are but giving disciplined expression to a nation's outraged feelings.
