- Ahimsa is the eradication of the desire to injure or to kill.
- Ahimsa is an attribute of the brave. Cowardice and ahimsa don't go together any more that water and fire.
- True ahimsa should mean a complete freedom from ill-will and anger and hate and an overflowing love for all.
- The removal of untouchability is one of the highest expressions of ahimsa.
- The strength to kill is not essential for self-defence; one ought to have the strength to die.
- Khadi has been conceived as the foundation and the image of ahimsa. A real khadi-wearer will not utter an untruth. A real khadi-wearer will harbour no violence, no deceit, no impurity.
- No power on earth can subjugate you when you are armed with the sword of ahimsa. It ennobles both the victor and the vanquished.
- The votary of ahimsa has only one fear, that is, of God.
- The hardest heart and the grossest ignorance must disappear before the rising sun of suffering without anger and without malice.
- The power of unarmed nonviolence is any day far superior to that of armed force.
- I know nothing of the science of astrology and I consider it to be a science, if it is a science, of doubtful value, to be severely left alone by those who have any faith in
- God is conscience. He is even the atheism of the atheist.
