"Ahimsa is no mere theory with me,..." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“I have mentally become a woman in order to steal into her heart.”

“Life is one indivisible whole.”

“Under my plan, the state will be there to carry out the will of the people, not to dictate to them or to force them to do its will.”

“True ahimsa should wear a smile even on a deathbed brought about by an assailant. It is only with that ahimsa that we can befriend our opponents and win their love.”

“The consumption of vegetables involves himsa, but I cannot give them up.”

“If our ahimsa is not of the brave but of the weak, and if it will bend the knee before himsa, Gandhism deserves to be destroyed.”

“I shall, of course, die with nonviolence on my lips.”

“Just as one must learn the art of killing in the training for violence, so one must learn the art of dying in the training for nonviolence.”

“I do not want to live at the cost of the life even of a snake. I should let him bite me to death rather than kill him.”
