- An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.
- Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.
- Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up.
- Are creeds such simple things like the clothes which a man can change at will and put on at will? Creeds are such for which people live for ages and ages.
- As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.
- Be the change that you want to see in the world.
- Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.
- But for my faith in God, I should have been a raving maniac.
- Capital as such is not evil; it is its wrong use that is evil. Capital in some form or other will always be needed.
- Commonsense is the realised sense of proportion.
- Confession of errors is like a broom which sweeps away the dirt and leaves the surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger for confession.
- Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.
- Culture of the mind must be subservient to the heart.
- Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.
- Each one prays to God according to his own light.
- Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.
- Every formula of every religion has in this age of reason, to submit to the acid test of reason and universal assent.
- Everyone who wills can hear the inner voice. It is within everyone.
- Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.
- Faith... must be enforced by reason... when faith becomes blind it dies.
