When Nonviolence Is Accepted As The Law

I Object To Violence Because When It Appears To Do Good, The Good Is Only Temporary; The Evil It Does Is Permanent.

The Lives Of Zoroaster, Jesus And Mohammed, As I Have Understood Them, Have Illumined Many A Passage In The Gita.

The Real Difficulty Is That People Have No Idea Of What Education Truly Is. We Assess The Value Of Education In The Same Manner As We Assess The Value Of Land Or Of Shares In The Stock-exchange Market. We Want To Provide Only Such Education As Would Enable The Student To Earn More. We Hardly Give Any Thought To The Improvement Of The Character Of The Educated. The Girls, We Say, Do Not Have To Earn; So Why Should They Be Educated? As Long As Such Ideas Persist There Is No Hope Of Our Ever Knowing The True Value Of Education.

For Me Patriotism Is The Sme As Humanity. I Am Patriotic Because I Am Human And Humane. It Is Not Exclusive. I Will Not Hurt England Or Germany To Serve India . . . My Patriotism Is Inclusive And Admits Of No Enmity Or Ill-will.

Truth And Nonviolence Are As Old As The Hills.
