Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.
What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?
Fear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. For want of valour is want of religious faith.
All the religions of the world, while they may differ in other respects, unitedly proclaim that nothing lives in this world but Truth.
Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress.
Healthy discontent is the prelude to progress.
To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.
My religion teaches me that whenever there is distress which one cannot remove, one must fast and pray.
I am a humble but very earnest seeker after truth.
I have worshipped woman as the living embodiment of the spirit of service and sacrifice.
Man can never be a woman's equal in the spirit of selfless service with which nature has endowed her.
Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up.
I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers.

Infinite striving to be the best is man's duty; it is its own reward. Everything else is in God's hands.
Gentleness, self-sacrifice and generosity are the exclusive possession of no one race or religion.
I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won't presume to probe into the faults of others.
It has always been a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honoured by the humiliation of their fellow beings.
Rights that do not flow from duty well performed are not worth having.
