Eredeti: Non-violence and cowardice are contradictory terms. Non-violence is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice. Non-violence springs from love, cowardice from hate. Non-violence always suffers, cowardice would always inflict suffering. Perfect non-violence is the highest bravery. Non-violent conduct is never demoralising, cowardice always is.

„Legyen meg mindannyiunkban a bátorság a mártírhalálhoz, de egyikünk se áhítsa a mártíromságot.”
Eredeti: Let us all be brave enough to die the death of a martyr, but let no one lust for martyrdom.
Eredeti: Hinduism is a living organism liable to growth and decay subject to the laws of Nature. One and indivisible at the root, it has grown into a vast tree with innumerable branches. The changes in the season affect it. It has its autumn and its summer, its winter and its spring. It is, and is not, based on scriptures. It does not derive its authority from one book. Non violence has found the highest expression and application in Hinduism.
Eredeti: Even as a tree has a single trunk but many branches and leaves, there is one religion — human religion — but any number of faiths.

Egy önéletrajz

Eredeti: Supplication, worship, prayer are no superstition; they are acts more real than acts of eating, drinking etc. It will be no exaggeration to say that they are alone real all else is unreal.
