The art of dying bravely and with honour does not need any special training, save a living faith in God.
This belief in the necessity of English training has enslaved us. It has unfitted us for true national service.
The foundation of service and your real training lie in spinning khaddar.
Today I know that physical training should have as much place in the curriculum as mental training.
Nonviolence does not require any outside or outward training.
Active nonviolence is necessary for those who will offer civil disobedience but the will and proper training are enough for the people to co-operate with those who are chosen for civil disobedience.
My national service is part of my training for freeing my soul from the bondage of the flesh.
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.
