The restoration of spinning to its central place in India's peaceful campaign for deliverance from the imperial yoke gives her women a special status.
Complete civil disobedience is a state of peaceful rebellion, a refusal to obey every single state-made law.
If Swaraj is to be had by peaceful methods, it will only be attained by attention to every little detail of national life.
I invite even the school of violence to give this peaceful non-co-operation a trial.
A non-violent revolution is not a program of seizure of power. It is a program of transformation of relationships, ending in a peaceful transfer of power.
Our peaceful non-co-operation must be constructive, non-destructive. Poison should not emerge from the throes of love.
If we are to create peace in our world, we must begin with our children.
There is no path to peace; peace is the path.
Anger and intolerance are the twin enemies of correct understanding
An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind.
An eye for an eye and everyone shall be blind
Satisfaction lies in the effort not the attainment. Full effort is full victory.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
