If Swaraj is to be had by peaceful methods, it will only be attained by attention to every little detail of national life.
Lovers of Swaraj cannot rest till a solution is found which would allay Mussalman apprehensions and yet not endanger Swaraj.
No Swaraj government with any pretension to being a popular government can possibly be organised and maintained on a war-footing.
So long as we fear the outside world, we must cease to think of Swaraj.
Swaraj, without any qualifying clause, includes that which is better than the best one can conceive or have today.
Swaraj does not depend on jail going. If it did, there are thousands of prisoners in jail today. It depends on everyone doing his or her own task.
Let the content of Swaraj grow with the growth of national consciousness and aspirations.
Swaraj is not a product of excitement or intoxication. Swaraj will be the natural and inevitable result of business like habits.
Swaraj means even under dominion status a capacity to declare independence at will.
To get Swaraj is to get rid of our helplessness.
Swaraj would be real Swaraj only when there would be no occasion for safeguarding any rights.
Swaraj is not meant for cowards, but for those who would mount smilingly to the gallows and refuse even to allow their eyes to be bandaged.
Swaraj can only be achieved through an all-round consciousness of the masses.
Conservation of national sanitation is Swaraj work and it may not be postponed for a single day on any consideration whatsoever.
