If love or non-violence be not the law of our being, the whole of my argument falls to pieces.

My interest in India's freedom will cease if she adopts violent means, for their fruit will not be freedom but slavery in disguise.

I would risk violence a thousand times rather than risk the emasculation of the whole race.

Violent men have not been known in history to die to a man. They die up to a point.

What can be richer and more fruitful than a greater fulfillment of the vow of nonviolence in thought, word and deed or the spread of that spirit?

I believe in the absolute oneness of God and therefore of humanity. What though we have many bodies? We have but one soul. . . . I know God is neither in heaven nor down below, but in everyone.
