By ahimsa we will be able to save the cow and also win the friendship of the English.
True ahimsa should wear a smile even on a deathbed brought about by an assailant. It is only with that ahimsa that we can befriend our opponents and win their love.
I know that not only is Swaraj our birthright, but it is our sacred duty to win it.
For winning Swaraj one requires iron discipline.
Every moment of my existence is dedicated to the winning of Swaraj by means of truth and nonviolence.
I would not sell the vital interests of the untouchables for the sake of winning the freedom of India.
Indeed, one perfect resister is enough to win the battle of Right against Wrong.
As in laws or in war, the longest purse finally wins.
An opponent is entitled to the same regard for his principles as we would expect others to have for ours. Non-violence demands that we should see every opportunity to win over opponents.
We win justice quickest by rendering justice to the other party.
Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.
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.
