We have to make truth and non-violence not matters for mere individual practice but for practice by groups and communities and nations. That at any rate is my dream. I shall live and die in trying to realize it. My faith helps me to discover new truths every day.

I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another.

Truth never damages a cause that is just.

... I am an uncompromising opponent of violent methods even to serve the noblest of causes ...

I believe all war to be wholly wrong.

If you think the world is all wrong, remember that it contains people like you.

Adaptability is imitation. It means power of resistance and assimilation.

Civilization, in the real sense of the term, consists not in the multiplication, but in the deliberate and voluntary reduction of wants.

No one has the capacity to judge God. We are drops in that limitless ocean of mercy.

To a man with an empty stomach, food is God.
