The only safe and honorable course for a self-respecting man is to do what I have decided to do, that is, to submit without protest to the penalty of disobedience ... not for want of respect for lawful authority, but in obedience to the higher law of our being, the voice of conscience.

I hold too that whatever may be true of other countries, a bloody revolution will not succeed in India.

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.

My Hinduism teaches me to respect all religions. In this lies the secret of Ramarajya.

Hinduism is a relentless pursuit of Truth. "Truth is God" and if today it has become moribund, inactive, irresponsive to growth, it is because we are fatigued; and as soon as the fatigue is over, Hinduism will burst upon the world with a brilliance perhaps unknown before.

What is imprisonment to the man who is fearless of death itself?

The only praise I would like and treasure is the promotion of the activities to which my life is dedicated.
