My life is an indivisible whole, and all my activities run into one another and they have their rise in my insatiable love of mankind
God is certainly one. He has no second. He is unfathomable, unknowable and unknown to the vast majority of mankind.
Ahimsa is nothing if not a well-balanced, exquisite consideration for one's neighbour, and an idle man is wanting in that elementary consideration.
That which is inherent in man is his virtue.
That which makes man the mere plaything of fate is God.
Mankind has to get out of violence only through non-violence.
I have discovered that man is superior to the system he propounds.
I cannot picture to myself a time when all mankind will have one religion.
It is my firm faith that man is by nature going higher.
Man cannot be transformed from bad to good overnight.
Man cannot breathe with borrowed lungs.
Man is not at peace with himself till he has become like unto God.
Men aspiring to be free can hardly think of enslaving others.
Man believes and lives.
