God is not a person. God is an eternal principle.

Passive resistance seeks to rejoin politics and religion and to test all our actions in the light of ethical principles.
It is difficult for me to regard anyone who obeys no moral principle in his conduct to be a religious man.
Nonviolence is a universal principle and its operation is not limited by a hostile environment.
The propagation of truth and nonviolence can be done less by books than by actually living on those principles.
Love requires that true education should be easily accessible to all and should be of use to every villager in this daily life. The emphasis laid on the principle of spending every minute of one's life usefully is the best education for citizenship.
A principle is a principle and in no case can it be watered down because of our incapacity to live it in practice. We have to strive to achieve it, and the striving should be conscious, deliberate and hard.
Those who think religion has nothing to do with politics understand neither religion or politics... The things that will destroy us are: politics without principles, pleasures without conscience, knowledge without character, business without morality.
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.
