I must declare that it is better for India do discard violence altogether even for defending her borders.

I can no more preach nonviolence to a cowardly man than I can tempt a blind man to enjoy healthy scenes.

Non-violence should never be used as a shield for cowardice. It is a weapon for the brave.

You may have occasion to possess or use material things, but the secret of life lies in never missing them.

Nonviolence is the summit of bravery.

If hand-spinning is an effective method of making India self-supporting, it must be made part of the franchise.

Distinguish between real needs and artificial wants and control the latter.
