Mankind is notoriously too dense to read the signs that God sends from time to time. We require drums to be beaten into our ears, before we should wake from our trance and hear the warning and see that to lose oneself in all, is the only way to find oneself.

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

If we import compulsion in matters of religion, there is no doubt that we shall be committing suicide.

The finite human being shall never know in its fullness Truth and Love which is itself infinite.

Of all the evils for which man has made himself responsible, none is so degrading, so shocking, or so brutal as his abuse of the better half of humanity; to me, the female sex is not the weaker sex.

God makes crooked straight for us and sets things right when they seem to go dead wrong.

The nonviolence I teach is active nonviolence of the strongest. But the weakest can partake in it without becoming weaker.
