I do not regard Jainism or Buddhism as separate from Hinduism. Hinduism believes in the oneness not of merely all human life but in the oneness of all that lives.

More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi

A non-violent soldier of freedom will covet nothing for himself, he fights only for the freedom of his country.

"An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so."

The ideally non-violent state will be an ordered anarchy. That State is the best governed which is governed the least.

Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary.

A good person will resist an evil system with his whole soul. Disobedience of the laws of an evil state is therefore a duty.
