Gandhi's ten lines had greater force than a hundred- page memorandum.
.....As satyagrahis we should always claim and we did- that we are always ready to make peace with our adversaries. As a matter of fact we are always eager for peace and when we found that the door to peace was opened we decided to enter it.
Satyagraha is not a creed for the weak or the cowardly.
Non-violence has to be observed in thought, word and deed. The measure of our non-violence will be the measure of our success.
One can take the path of revolution but the revolution should not give a shock to the society. There is no place for violence in revolution.
The war started by Mahatmaji is against two things-the Government and secondly against one self. The former kind of war is closed, but the latter shall never cease. It is meant for self-purification.
I am blunt and uncultured. To me there is only one answer to this questions. That answer is not that you should shut yourselves in colleges and learn history and mathematics while the country is on fire and everybody is fighting freedom's battle.

Young men and women are to build up a strong character. A nation's greatness was reflected in the character of the people.

The main task before India today is to consolidate herself into a well-knit and united power....
No one would die of starvation in independent India. Its grain would not be exported. Cloth would not be imported by it. Its leaders would neither use a foreign language nor rule from a remote place 7000 feet above sea level. Its military expenditure would not be heavy. Its army would not subjugate its own people or other lands. Its best-paid officials would not earn a great deal more than its lowest-paid servants. And finding justice in it would be neither costly nor difficult.
