Love is basic for the very survival of mankind. I'm convinced that love is the only absolute ultimately; love is the highest good. He who loves has somehow discovered the meaning of ultimate reality. He who hates does not know God; he who hates has no knowledge of God. Love is the supreme unifying principle of life.

It is always the right time to do the right thing.

Be the best of whatever you are.

Whom you would change, you must first love.

A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.

I have consistently preached that nonviolence demands that the means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek.

Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification.
