A courageous man prefers death to the surrender of self-respect.

Cow-slaughter and man-slaughter are in my opinion two sides of the same coin.

Woman, I hold, is the personification of self-sacrifice, but unfortunately today she does not realize what a tremendous advantage she has over man. As Tolstoy used to say, they are laboring under the hypnotic influence of man. If they would realize the strength of non-violence they would not consent to be called the weaker sex.

The wise are unaffected either by death or life. These are but faces of the same coin.

Nonviolence is the rock on which the whole structure of non-co-operation is built.

In the dictionary of the seeker of truth there is no such thing as being "not successful." He is or should be an irrepressible optimist because of his immovable faith in the ultimate victory of Truth, which is God.
