My Optimism Rests On My Belief In

Truth Is Self-evident, Nonviolence Is Its Maturest Fruit. It Is Contained In Truth, But Is Not Self-evident.

Each And Every One Of You Should Consider Himself To Be A Trustee For The Welfare Of The Rest Of His Fellow Labourers And Not Be Self-seeking.

Though Violence Is Not Lawful, When It Is Offered In Self-defense Or For The Defense Of The Defenseless, It Is An Act Of Bravery Far Better Than Cowardly Submission. The Latter Befits Neither Man Nor Woman. Under Violence, There Are Many Stages And Varieties Of Bravery. Every Man Must Judge This For Himself. No Other Person Can Or Has The Right.

I Know No Diplomacy Save That Of Truth.

The Satyagrahi Should Not Have Any Hatred In His Heart Against The Opponent.
