“Fearlessness is the first requisite of spirituality. Cowards can never be moral.”

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

Has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? Without her, man could not be. If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?"[To the Women of India (Young India, Oct. 4, 1930)]”

“There are as many different religions as there are individuals.”

“I can retain neither respect nor affection for government which has been moving from wrong to wrong in order to defend its immorality”
