“Healthy, well-informed, balanced criticism is the ozone of public life.”

“Do not crave to know the views of others, nor base your intent thereon. To think independently for yourself is a sign of fearlessness.”

“Fearlessness presupposes calmness and peace of mind.”

“We shall make progress towards Swaraj only if we do everything thoughtfully and with understanding.”

“The Swaraj of my dream recognizes no race or religious distinctions.”

“The Swaraj of my dream is the poor man's Swaraj.”

“A country of a thousand war-chariots cannot be administered unless the ruler attends strictly to business, punctually observes his promises, is economical in expenditure, loves the people, and uses the labor of the peasantry only at the proper times of year.”

“Personally, I'd like to see more of our leaders take a technocratic approach to solving our biggest problems.”
