Woman is the companion of man, gifted with equal mental capacities. She has the right to participate in the minutest details in the activities of man, and she has an equal right of freedom and liberty with him.

Hatred ever kills, love never dies, such is the vast difference between the two. What is obtained by love is retained for all time. What is obtained by hatred proves a burden in reality for it increases hatred.

A vow is a purely religious act which cannot be taken in a fit of passion. It can be taken only with a mind purified and composed and with God as witness.

Religion is a matter of the heart. No physical inconvenience can warrant abandonment of one's own religion.

To forgive is not to forget. The merit lies in loving in spite of the vivid knowledge that the one that must be loved is not a friend. There is no merit in loving an enemy when you forget him for a friend.

An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody will see it.

Suffering cheerfully endured, ceases to be suffering and is transmuted into an ineffable joy.

As soon as we lose the moral basis, we cease to be religious. There is no such thing as religion over-riding morality. Man, for instance,cannot be untruthful, cruel or incontinent and claim to have God on his side.

Even as wisdom often comes from the mouths of babes, so does it often come from the mouths of old people. The golden rule is to test everything in the light of reason and experience, no matter from where it comes.

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

I will far rather see the race of man extinct than that we should become less than beasts by making the noblest of God's creation, woman, the object of our lust.

The spirit of non-violence necessarily leads to humility. Non-violence means reliance on God, the rock of ages. If we would seek His aid, we must approach Him with a humble and contrite heart.

There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supercedes all other courts.

Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.

God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

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.

The only virtue I want to claim is truth and non-violence. I lay no claim to superhuman powers. I want none. I wear the same corruptible flesh that the weakest of my fellow beings wears, and am therefore as liable to err as any. My services have many limitations, but God has up to now blessed them in spite of the imperfections.

The human voice can never reach the distance that is covered by the still small voice of conscience.

If we want to cultivate a true spirit of democracy we cannot afford to be intolerant. Intolerance betrays want of faith in one's cause.

When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.

Violent means will give violent freedom. That would be a menace to the world and to India herself.

Religion is more than life. Remember that his own religion is the truest to every man even if it stands low in the scales of philosophical comparison.

However much I may sympathise with and admire worthy motives, I am an uncompromising opponent of violent methods even to serve the noblest of causes.

Birth and death are not two different states, but they are different aspects of the same state. There is as little reason to deplore the one as there is to be pleased over the other.

Indeed one's faith in one's plans and methods is truly tested when the horizon before one is the blackest.

One's own religion is after all a matter between oneself and one's Maker and no one else's.

My religion is based on truth and non-violence. Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realising Him.

It is any day better to stand erect with a broken and bandaged head then to crawl on one's belly, in order to be able to save one's head.

Imitation is the sincerest flattery.

Let no one charge me with ever having abused or encouraged weakness or surrendered on matters of principle. But I have said, as I say again, that every trifle must not be dignified into a principle.

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

Justice that love gives is a surrender, justice that law gives is a punishment.

I am but a poor struggling soul yearning to be wholly good, wholly truthful and wholly non-violent in thought, word and deed, but ever failing to reach the ideal which I know to be true. It is a painful climb, but the pain of it is a positive pleasure to me. Each step upwards makes me feel stronger and fit for the next.

Moral authority is never retained by any attempt to hold on to it. It comes without seeking and is retained without effort.

Self-respect knows no considerations.

Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment.

A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion.

There is no principle worth the name if it is not wholly good.

No sacrifice is worth the name unless it is a joy. Sacrifice and a long face go ill together. Sacrifice is 'making sacred'. He must be a poor specimen of humanity who is in need of sympathy for his sacrifice.

That service is the nobelest which is rendered for its own sake.

I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.

Truth is by nature self-evident, as soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear.

Though we may know Him (Her) by a thousand names, He (She) is one and the same to us all.

A 'no' uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a 'yes' merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble.

Have I not gazed at the marvellous mystery of the starry vault, hardly ever tiring of the great panorama?

I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won't presume to probe into the faults of others.

Everyone who wills can hear the inner voice. It is within everyone.

Between husband and wife there should be no secrets from one another. I have a very high opinion of the marriage tie. I hold that husband and wife merge in each other. They are one in two or two in one.

It is foolish to think that by fleeing one can trick the dread god of death. Let us treat him as a beneficent angel rather than a dread god. We must face and welcome him whenever he comes.

It is the law of love that rules mankind. Had violence, i.e. hate, ruled us we should have become extinct long ago. And yet, the tragedy of it is that the so-called civilized men and nations conduct themselves as if the basis of society was violence.

We do not need to proselytise either by our speech or by our writing. We can only do so really with our lives. Let our lives be open books for all to study.

A customer is the most important visitor on our premises. He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption of our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider to our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a favour by serving him. He is doing us a favour by giving us the opportunity to do so.
