Justice does not help those who slumber but helps only those who are vigilant.

If one does not practice nonviolence in one's own personal relations with others and hopes to use it in bigger affairs, one is vastly mistaken.

The force of nonviolence is infinitely more wonderful and subtle than the material forces of nature, like electricity.

I have in my life never been guilty of saying things I did not mean - my nature is to go straight to the heart and if often I fail in doing so for the time being, I know that Truth ultimately makes itself heard and felt, as it has often done in my experience.

If you don't find God in the next person you meet, it is a waste of time looking for him further.

I would risk violence a thousand times rather than risk the emasculation of the whole race.

The whole existence of man is a ceaseless duel between the forces of life and death.
