A satyagrahi is dead to his body even before the enemy attempts to kill him.
A satyagrahi would neither retaliate nor would he submit to the criminal, but seek to cure him by curing himself.
No confirmed satyagrahi is dismayed by dangers, seen or unseen, from his opponent’s side.
To die without killing is the badge of a satyagrahi.
A satyagrahi is nothing if not instinctively law-abiding.
A satyagrahi exhausts all other means before he resorts to satyagraha.
A satyagrahi, whilst he is ever ready to fight, must be equally eager for peace.
You are no Satyagrahi if you remain silent or passive spectators while your enemy is being done to death.
A satyagrahi lays down his life, but never gives up. That is the meaning of the ‘do or die’ slogan.
A satyagrahi may not ride two horses, truth and untruth, at the same time, nor, to change the metaphor, trim his sail to catch every breeze as you do in the name of communism.
No police officer could compel a satyagrahi to give evidence against a person who has confessed to him. A satyagrahi would never be guilty of a betrayal of trust.
Swaraj is a hardy tree of patient growth.
The pilgrimage to Swaraj is a painful climb.
For winning Swaraj one requires iron discipline.
Swaraj will favour Hinduism no more than Islam, nor Islam more than Hinduism.
It is Swaraj when we learn to rule ourselves.
Conservation of national sanitation is Swaraj work and it may not be postponed for a single day on any consideration whatsoever.
Swaraj can only be achieved through an all-round consciousness of the masses.
Swaraj is not meant for cowards, but for those who would mount smilingly to the gallows and refuse even to allow their eyes to be bandaged.
Swaraj would be real Swaraj only when there would be no occasion for safeguarding any rights.
