God is not a person. God is an eternal principle.
A convert's enthusiasm for his new religion is greater than that of a person who is born in it.
A nonviolent person's life is always at the disposal of him who would take it.
God never occurs to you in person but always in action.
For the nonviolent person, the whole world is one family. He will fear none, nor will others fear him.
If one person gains spiritually, the whole world gains
Tolerance is the only thing that will enable persons belonging to different religions to live as good neighbours and friends.
A person is bound to work in obedience to and in conformity to that person's own nature.
A person unbound by vows can never be absolutely relied upon.
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.
