It is not a mistake to commit a mistake, for no one commits a mistake knowing it to be one. But it is a mistake not to correct the mistake after knowing it to be one. If you are afraid of committing a mistake, you are afraid of doing anything at all. You will correct your mistakes whenever you find them.

Morality is the basis of things and truth is the substance of all morality.

I regard myself as a soldier, though a soldier of peace.

It is for us to make the effort. The result is always in God's hands.

I have been repeating over and over again that he who cannot protect himself or his nearest and dearest or their honour by non-violently facing death may and ought to do so by violently dealing with the oppressor. He who can do neither of the two is a burden. He has no business to be the head of a family. He must either hide himself, or must rest content to live for ever in helplessness and be prepared to crawl like a worm at the bidding of a bully.

God's laws are eternal and unalterable and not separable from God Himself.

You cannot cure a lesser evil by a greater evil.
