“Sword and fist are the instruments of primitive; non-violence is the instrument of developed man!”

“The best thing you can give to a child is to create an environment where the child can develop an independent mind so that he will be the man of no one and the instrument of no system!”

“If a man is not peaceful and non-violent, whichever religion he belongs to, he is not a man! Violence degrades man to a low-degree creature!”

“If you want to be a civilised man, first you have to be a non-violent man! If you want to be a civilised country, first you have to be a non-violent country! Violence is the means of the sick minds; peacefulness is the means of the healthy minds!”

“The more you stand aloof from the sword, from the arrow, from the lance and from the fist, the more you become civilised!”

“If you don’t like an idea, put another idea against it! If you use your fist against an idea that you don’t like, you only prove how horribly primitive you are!”

“Once you take sword in your hand, you will lose your right to talk about the peace! Man of peace and love never takes the sword in his hand!”
