Under my plan, the state will be there to carry out the will of the people, not to dictate to them or to force them to do its will.

Our nonviolence in respect of the Government is a result of our incapacity for effective violence.

Civil disobedience is not only the natural right of a people, especially when they have no effective voice in their own Government, but that it is also a substitute for violence or armed rebellion.

For me popular violence is as much an obstruction in our path as the Government violence.
