"The field of research in the doctrine..." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“I retain the opinion that council entry is inconsistent with non-co-operation as I conceive it.”

“In our progress towards the goal, we ever see more and more enchanting scenery.”

“Our aim is not to do things by violence to opponents.”

“Before civil disobedience can be practised on a vast scale, people must learn the art of civil or voluntary obedience.”

“Mass civil disobedience was for the attainment of independence.”

“Civil disobedience and excitement and intoxication go ill together.”

“They asked if I knew what 'conscientious objector' meant. I told them that when the white man asked me to go off somewhere and fight and maybe die to preserve the way the white man treated the black man in America, then my conscience made me object.”

“The power of nonviolent resistance can only come from honest working of the constructive programme.”

“Nature intended me for the tranquil pursuits of science, by rendering them my supreme delight. But the enormities of the times in which I have lived, have forced me to take a part in resisting them, and to commit myself on the boisterous ocean of political passions.”
