Religion all the world over offeres God as the solace and comfort for all in agony.
All the religions of the world describe God pre-eminently as the Friend of the friendless, Help of the helpless, and Protector of the weak.
All the dry ethics of the world turn to dust because apart from God they are lifeless.
God has so ordered this world that no one can keep his goodness or badness exclusively to himself.
God has been described by all the scriptures of the world as protector and saviour of the sinner.
I have made the world's faith in God my own and as my faith is effaceable, I regard that faith as amounting to experience.
My mission is to convert every Indian, every Englishman and finally the world to nonviolence for regulating mutual relations, whether political, economic, social or religious.
The Gita has become for me the key to the scriptures of the world.
If the lambs of the world had been willingly led, they would have long ago saved themselves from the butcher's knife.
Love in the sense of ahimsa has only a limited number of votaries in the world.
Ahimsa is one of the world's great principles, which no power on earth can wipe out.
We must widen the circle of our love till it embraces the whole village; the village in its turn must take into its fold the district, the district the province, and so on until the scope of our love becomes co-terminous with the world.
With every true friendship, we build more firmly the foundations on which the peace of the whole world rests.
Prayer from the heart can achieve what nothing else can in the world.
