Non-violence is the article of faith.

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

Non-violence requires a double faith, faith in God and also faith in man.

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

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.

Nonviolence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed.
