I Believe In The Doctrine Of Non-violence

I Isolate This Non-co-operation From Sinn Feinism, For It Is So Conceived As To Be Incapable Of Being Offered Side By Side With Violence.

When You Are Right,you Have No Need To Be Angry. When You Are Wrong, You Have No Right To Be Angry.

I Do Believe That, Where There Is Only A Choice Between Cowardice And Violence, I Would Advise Violence. I Would Rather Have India Resort To Arms In Order To Defend Her Honour Than That She Should, In A Cowardly Manner, Become Or Remain A Helpless Witness To Her Own Dishonour. But I Believe That Nonviolence Is Infinitely Superior To Violence, Forgiveness Is More Manly Than Punishment.

As The Elephant Is Powerless To Think In The Terms Of The Ant, In Spite Of The Best Intentions In The World, Even So Is The Englishman Powerless To Think In The Terms Of, Or Legislate For, The Indian.

Tolerance Gives Us Spiritual Insight, Which Is As Far From Fanaticism As The North Pole Is From The South.
