Let the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day:- I shall not fear anyone on Earth. - I shall fear only God. - I shall not bear ill will toward anyone. - I shall not submit to injustice from anyone. - I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth, I shall put up with all suffering.

My religion says that only he who is prepared to suffer can pray to God.

India's freedom will not be won by violence but only by the purest suffering without retaliation.

He who atones for sins never calculates; he pours out the whole essence of his contrite heart.

I literally believe in the possibility of a Sudhanva smiling away whilst he was being drowned in boiling oil.

Only the toad under the harrow knows where it pinches him.

Spiritual instruments suffer in their potency when their use is taught through non-spiritual messages which are self-propagating.

Your readiness to suffer will light the torch of freedom which will never be put out.

Ahimsa calls for the strength and courage to suffer without retaliation, to receive blows without returning any.
