Non-violence and truth are inseparable and presuppose one another.

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

My religion is based on truth and non-violence. Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realising Him.

Non-violence is the article of faith.

Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being.

An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so. Now the law of nonviolence says that violence should be resisted not by counter-violence but by nonviolence. This I do by breaking the law and by peacefully submitting to arrest and imprisonment.
