Love is the strongest force the world possesses, and yet it is the humblest imaginable
God is the vital force or spirit which is all-pervading, all-embracing and, therefore, beyond human ken.
The force of love is the same as the force of the soul or truth.
Only living things bring living joy to the soul and must elevate it.
History supplied numerous instances to prove that brute force is as nothing before soul-force.
In the code of the satyagrahi, there is no such thing as surrender to brute force.
Force that the performance of duty naturally generates is the non-violent and invincible force that satyagraha brings into being.
Satyagraha is a force that has come to stay. No force in the world can kill it.
To change one's religion under the threat of force is no conversion but rather cowardice.
A popular government wields a moral force, which is infinitely superior to the physical force that the foreign government could summon to its assistance.
My creed of nonviolence is an extremely active force.
Truth and nonviolence are perhaps the activest forces you have in the world.
Nonviolence to be worth anything has to work in the face of hostile forces.
The force of nonviolence is infinitely more wonderful and subtle than the material forces of nature, like electricity.
