“Wondrous strength and generosity of a woman's heart! She will not speak!”

“a good woman's heart knows no bounds. And love is the most powerful and wondrous gift in the world. Yes, it is.”

“To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior. 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)]”

“It is the mind that speaks a woman's heart, not the vaginal walls.”

“She hasn't your strength. She's never had any strength. She's never had anything but heart.”

“A strong woman who recklessly throws away her strength, she is worse than a weak woman who has never had any strength to throw away.”
