Our Life Is A Long And Arduous

If I Arrogate To Myself The Exclusive Title Of Being In The Right, I Usurp The Function Of The Deity.

I Am Not Conscious Of A Single Experience Throughout My Three Months' Stay In England And Europe That Made Me Feel That After All East Is East And West Is West. On The Contrary, I Have Been Convinced More Than Ever That Human Nature Is Much The Same, No Matter Under What Clime It Flourishes, And That If You Approached People With Trust And Affection You Would Have Ten-fold Trust And Thousand-fold Affection Returned To You.

It's A Big Error To Dream Of A Society Where Nobody Needs To Be Good.

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.
