It is an ever-growing belief with me that truth cannot be found by violent means.

Jesus was the most active resister known to history. His was nonviolence par excellence.

A democrat should not rely upon the force of the arms his state could flaunt in the face of the world, but on the moral force his state could put at the disposal of the world.

The only virtue I want to claim is truth and nonviolence.

For me patriotism is the sme as humanity. I am patriotic because I am human and humane. It is not exclusive. I will not hurt England or Germany to serve India . . . My patriotism is inclusive and admits of no enmity or ill-will.

A burning passion coupled with absolute detachment is the key to all success.

I find a solace a in the Bhagavadgita and Upanishads that I miss even in the Sermon on the Mount.
