This earthly existence of ours is more brittle that the glass bangles that ladies wear.

If anybody said that I should die if I did not take beef-tea or mutton, even under medical advice, I would prefer death.

I do not want my house to be rounded by walls and my windows to be closed to other cultures. I wish to become familiar with the culture of lands as much as possible but I will not permit them to affect me or shake me from my own status.

One needs to be slow to form convictions, but once formed they must be defended against the heaviest odds.

The yajna of our age and for us is the spinning wheel.

Faith... must be enforced by reason... when faith becomes blind it dies.

A person who believes in nonviolence believes in a living God. He cannot accept defeat.
