India's freedom will not be won by violence but only by the purest suffering without retaliation.

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall... think of it, always.

I am just not thinking of India's deliverance. It will come, but will it be worth if England and France fall, or if they come out victorious over Germany ruined and humbled?

All religions are branches of the same mighty tree, but I must not change over from one branch to another for the sake of expediency.

It is the function of God Rama to destroy evil, wherever it occurs and it is equally the function of God Rama to give to his devotees like Bibhishana a free charter of irrevocable self-government.

To shirk taking of vows betrays indecision and want of resolution.

Nonviolence is an unchangeable creed. It has to be pursued even in face of violence raging around you.
