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.

Ahimsa and Truth are my two lungs. I cannot live without them.

True ahimsa lay in running into the mouth of himsa.

The safest rule of conduct is to claim kinship when we want to do service and not to insist on kinship when we want to assert a right.

Nonviolence is not an easy thing to understand, still less to practice, weak as we are.
