Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his fellow-men.

Every species, human and subhuman, has some distinguishing mark, so that you can tell a man from a beast, or a dog from a cow.

There is nothing on earth that I would not give up, excepting of course, two things and two things only, truth and nonviolence.

Active nonviolence of the brave puts to flight thieves, dacoits, murderers, and prepares an army of volunteers ready to sacrifice themselves in quelling riots, in extinguishing fires and feuds, and so on.

Naked violence repels like the naked skeleton shorn of flesh, blood and the velvety skin.

For winning Swaraj one requires iron discipline.

India is one vast prison with high walls of suppression clothing her mind and her body.
