India Has An Unbroken Tradition Of Nonviolence

It Is The Acid Test Of Nonviolence That In A Nonviolent Conflict There Is No Rancor Left Behind, And In The End The Enemies Are Converted Into Friends.

The Function Of Violence Is To Obtain Reform By External Means, The Function Of Passive Resistance, That Is, Soul-force, Is To Obtain It By Growth From Within, Which, In Its Turn, Is Obtained By Self-suffering, Self-purification.

I Do Regard Islam To Be A Religion Of Peace In The Same Sense As Christianity, Buddhism And Hinduism Are.

By Education, I Mean An All-round Drawing Of The Best In Child And Man In Body, Mind And Spirit.

Truth Is My God. Non-violence Is The Means Of Realizing Him.
