It is a tragedy that religion for us means, today, nothing more than restrictions on food and drink, nothing more than adherence to absence of superiority and inferiority.

Full effort is full victory.

Perfect nonviolence is difficult. It admits to no weakness.

On India rests the burden of pointing the way to all the exploited races of the earth.

I would rather have India without education, if that is the price to be paid for making it dry.

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.

The Charkha, which is the embodiment of willing obedience and calm persistence, must therefore succeed before there is civil disobedience.
