Imperialism is a negation of God. It does ungodly acts in the name of God.
He is no God who merely satisfies the intellect, if He ever does.
God does not punish directly. His ways are inscrutable.
My implicit faith in nonviolence does mean yielding to minorities when they are really weak.
What senseless violence does is to prolong the lease of life of the British or foreign rule.
The fullest application of ahimsa does make life impossible.
It does not require money, to live neat, clean and dignified..
He who spins before the poor, inviting them to do likewise, serves God as no one else does.
A coward is less than a man. He does not deserve to be a member of a society of men and women
If we remain nonviolent, hatred will die as everything does from disuse.
Tolerance obviously does not disturb the distinction between right and wrong, or good and evil.
Desirelessness or renunciation does not come for the mere talking about it.
Renunciation which is natural does not herald its coming by the blowing of trumpets. It comes in imperceptibly without letting anyone notice it.
Complete independence does not mean arrogant isolation or a superior disdain for all help.
