The nation's non-co-operation is an invitation to the Government to co-operate with it on its own terms, as is every nation's right and every good government's duty.
At times, non-co-operation becomes as much a duty as co-operation.
Real non-co-operation is non-co-operation with evil and not with the evil-doer.
The avowed policy of non-co-operation has been not to make political use of the disputes between labour and capital.
The Bhagavadgita is a gospel of non-co-operation between the forces of darkness and those of light.
The primary object of non-co-operation is nowhere stated to be paralysis of the Government. The primary object is self-purification.
It is nonviolent non-co-operation which evokes the highest spirit of self-sacrifice that will wean one from the error of one's ways.
When freedom is in jeopardy, non-co-operation may be a duty and prison may be a palace.
Non-co-operation enables us to show that in everything that matters we can be independent of the Government.
Non-co-operation in the political field is an extension of the doctrine as it is practised in the domestic field.
Non-co-operation intended to pave the way to real honourable and voluntary co-operation based on mutual respect and trust.
Non-co-operation in itself is unnatural, vicious and sinful.
Non-co-operation means nothing less than training in self-sacrifice.
Nonviolent non-co-operation with evil means co-operation with all that is good.
