Outward Peace is useless without inner Peace

It is my conviction that the root of evil is the want of a living God.

I believe in conversion of mankind, not its destruction.

[He] alone is truly nonviolent who remains nonviolent even though he has the ability to strike.

Untouchability of foreign cloth is as much a virtue with all of us as untouchability of the suppressed classes must be a sin with every devout Hindu.

Complete independence through truth and non-violence means the independence of every unit, be it the humblest of the nation, without distinction of race, colour or creed.

Humankind has to get out of violence only through non-violence. Hatred can be overcome only by love. Counter - hatred only increases the surface as well as the depth of hatred.
