A worker's capital is inexhaustible, incapable of being stolen, and bound to pay him a generous dividend all the time.

God has made of man and woman one complete whole. In the scheme of nature, both of them are equal.

To put up with. . . distortions and to stick to one's guns come what may - this is the. . . gift of leadership.

Experience convinces me that permanent good can never be the outcome of untruth & violence. Even if my belief is a fond delusion, it will be admitted that it is a fascinating delusion.

To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior. Has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? Without her, man could not be. If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?

Your readiness to suffer will light the torch of freedom which will never be put out.

My creed of nonviolence does not favour the punishment of thieves and dacoits and even murderers.
