What faith can you place in a general or a soldier who lacks resolution and determination, who says, 'I shall keep guard as long as I can'?
All faiths constitute a revelation of Truth, but all are imperfect and liable to error.
Without a belief in my programme and without an acceptance of my condition, you will ruin me, ruin yourselves and ruin the cause.
With me the connection between the cosmic phenomena and human behaviour is a living faith that draws me nearer to God, humbles me and makes me readier for facing Him.
My implicit faith in nonviolence does mean yielding to minorities when they are really weak.
My faith in non-co-operation is as bright as ever.
It is the faith and perseverance and single-mindedness with which Hitler has perfected his weapons of destruction that commands my admiration.
I have made the world's faith in God my own and as my faith is effaceable, I regard that faith as amounting to experience.
I am a seasoned soldier of nonviolence, and I have evidence enough to sustain my faith.
A satyagrahi should have a living faith in God.
Work without faith is like an attempt to reach the bottom of a bottomless pit.
Nothing can be more hurtful to an honourable man than that he should be accused of bad faith.
It is poor faith that needs fair weather for standing firm. That alone is true faith that stands the foulest weather.
If you have faith in the cause and the means and in God, the hot sun will be cool for you.
