He is unofficially called the Father of the Nation...

Personally I crave not for 'independence', which I do not understand, but I long for freedom from the English yoke.
The day a woman can walk freely on the roads at night, that day we can say that India has achieved independence
The attainment of national independence is to me a search for truth.
The fire of independence is burning just as bright in my breast as in the most fiery breast in this country, but ways and methods differ.
Complete independence does not mean arrogant isolation or a superior disdain for all help.
Economic equality is the master-key to nonviolent independence.
Mass civil disobedience was for the attainment of independence.
Civil disobedience can never be in general terms, such as for independence.
Swaraj means even under dominion status a capacity to declare independence at will.
Complete independence will be complete only to the extent of our approach in practice to truth and nonviolence.
Nonviolence is the means, the end for everyone is complete independence.
If every component part of the nation claims the right of self-determination for itself, there is no one nation and there is no independence.
The states can make the finest contribution to the building of India's future independence if they set the right example in their own territories.
I want for India complete independence in the full English sense of that English term.
