I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.

The pursuit of truth does not permit violence on one's opponent.

Remember that all through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Always.

A policy is a temporary creed liable to be changed, but while it holds good it has got to be pursued with apostolic zeal.

The first principal of non-violent action is that of non-cooperation with everything humiliating.

Poverty is the worst form of violence.
