Nobody can hurt me without my permission.

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

Swaraj as conceived by me does not mean the end of kingship.

If I seem to take part in politics, it is only because politics encircles us today like the coil of a snake from which one cannot get out, no matter how much one tries. I wish therefore to wrestle with the snake.

Nonviolence is the summit of bravery.

When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.

Hatred can be overcome only by love.
