Peace will not come out of a clash of arms but out of justice lived and done by unarmed nations in the face of odds.

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.

We win justice quickest by rendering justice to the other party.

Let the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day:

- I shall not fear anyone on Earth.
- I shall fear only God.
- I shall not bear ill will toward anyone.
- I shall not submit to injustice from anyone.
- I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth, I shall put up with all suffering.

Justice that love gives is a surrender, justice that law gives is a punishment.

Justice does not help those who slumber but helps only those who are vigilant.
