Thou wilt find rest from vain fancies if thou doest every act in life as though it were thy last.

I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.

Nay, do not pinni, tho' life be dark with trouble.

I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught. 

The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.

Time is not measured by the passing of years but by what one does, what one feels, and what one achieves.

I took the vow of celibacy in 1906. I had not shared my thoughts with my wife until then, but only consulted her at the time of making the vow. She had no objection. 

I had only one idea before me throughout the trial, i.e. to show complete indifference towards the trial in spite of serious nature of the charges against us.

I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.

I consider myself as a free spokesman for the people.

I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.

If you're going through hell, keep going.
