If we will take care of today, God will take care of the morrow.
My motto is "Unite now, today if you can; fight if you must. But in every case avoid British intervention."
Think for tomorrow but act for today.
We no longer have a choice between violence and non-violence. The choice of today stands between nonviolence or non-existence.
Newspapers today have almost replaced the Bible, the Koran, the Gita and other religious scriptures.
The greatest menace to the world today is the growing, exploiting, irresponsible imperialism.
Today the cities dominate and drain the villages so that they are crumbling to ruin.
Swaraj, without any qualifying clause, includes that which is better than the best one can conceive or have today.
Swaraj does not depend on jail going. If it did, there are thousands of prisoners in jail today. It depends on everyone doing his or her own task.
The fragrance of nonviolence was never sweeter than it was today amidst the stink of violence of the most cowardly type that was being displayed in the cities of India.
Your future depends on what you do today.
If you give me rice, I'll eat today; if you teach me how to grow rice, I'll eat every day.
It was only in South Africa that I got over this shyness, though I never completely overcame it. It was impossible for me to speak impromptu. I hesitated whenever I had to face strange audiences and avoided making a speech whenever I could. Even today I do not think I could or would even be inclined to keep a meeting of friends engaged in idle talk.
I have so much to accomplish today that I must meditate for two hours instead of one.
