As long as you find something beautiful, good, and true to believe in and abide by, you have the equivalent of God in your life.

Nonviolent action, born of the awareness of suffering and nurtured by love, is the most effective way to confront adversity.

The way must be in you; the destination also must be in you and not somewhere else in space or time. If that kind of self-transformation is being realized in you, you will arrive.

Our capacity to make peace with another person and with the world depends very much on our capacity to make peace with ourselves.

It's like a mother, when the baby is crying, she picks up the baby and she holds the baby tenderly in her arms. Your pain, your anxiety is your baby. You have to take care of it. You have to go back to yourself, to recognize the suffering in you, embrace the suffering, and you get a relief.

The essence of nonviolence is love. Out of love and the willingness to act selflessly, strategies, tactics, and techniques for a nonviolent struggle arise naturally. Nonviolence is not a dogma; it is a process.

Our walking is not a means to an end. We walk for the sake of walking.
