“Non-cooperation with tyrants is a duty.”

“The only things that separates us from the brute, with which we have so much in common, is the capacity to distinguish between right and wrong.”

“No perfect democracy is possible without perfect nonviolence at the back of it.”

“What is not in nature can never be true.”

“I wanted to ask a thousand questions, but there was no one to ask. Besides I knew that people only told lies to children-lies about everything from soup to Santa Claus.”

“Absolute honesty is as absurd an abstraction as an absolute temperature or an absolute value.”

“In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline.”

“We dare not enter the kingdom of liberty with mere life-homage to truth and nonviolence.”

“The law of nature gives a man the right to defend himself when he's attacked. And God's law itself gives a man the right to defend himself when he's attacked.so, peaceful suffering and passive resistance and all of that stuff is all right maybe in India somewhere, where the people in India outnumber the whites - about a million to one.But here in America, when you tell that's like an elephant sitting down on a - on a mouse in India with [Mahatma] Gandhi.”
