I am endeavouring to see God through service of humanity; for I know that God is neither in heaven, nor down below, but in everyone.

The alphabet of ahimsa is best learnt in domestic school and I can say from experience that if we secure success there, we are sure to do so everywhere else.

Nonviolence is not a cloistered virtue, confined only to the rishi and the cave-dweller.

Nonviolence of the strong is infinitely braver than their violence.

All our philosophy is as dry as dust if it is not immediately translated into some act of living service.

To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.

A man of prayer regards what are known as physical calamities as divine chastisement.
