I believe in the capacity of India to offer nonviolent battle to the English rulers.
If we are to stand the final heat of the battle, we must learn to stand our ground in the face of cavalry or baton charges and allow ourselves to be trampled under horses' hooves, or be bruised with baton charges.
Indeed, one perfect resister is enough to win the battle of Right against Wrong.
Indeed one's faith in one's plans and methods is truly tested when the horizon before one is the blackest.
Better than cowardice is killing and being killed in battle.
Intellect takes us along in the battle of life to a certain limit, but at the crucial moment it fails us. Faith transcends reason. It is when the horizon is the darkest and human reason is beaten down to the ground that faith shines brightest and comes to our rescue.
We may stumble and fall but shall rise again; it should be enough if we did not run away from the battle.
The true battlefield is within.
Freedom battles are not fought without paying heavy prices.
In battling against untouchability, and in dedicating myself to that battle, I have no less an ambition than to see a full regeneration of humanity.
To lose patience is to lose the battle.
