It is my firm faith that man is by nature going higher.

Man is sent into the world to perform his duty even at the cost of his life.

We dare not enter the kingdom of liberty with mere life-homage to truth and nonviolence.

Domestic matters are trifles for us. But they occupy the principal part of my life. They teach me to know my limitations.

My dharma teaches me to give my life for the sake of others without even attempting to kill.

I am not at all concerned with appearing to be consistent. In my pursuit after Truth I have discarded many ideas and learnt many new things.

Non-violence ... is the only thing that the atom bomb cannot destroy. I did not move a muscle when I first heard that the atom bomb had wiped out Hiroshima. On the contrary, I said to myself, Unless now the world adopts non-violence, it will spell certain suicide for mankind.
