If we all discharge our duties, rights will not be far to seek. If leaving duties unperformed we run after rights, they will escape us like a will-o'-the-wisp.

Whilst I may not actually help anyone to retaliate, I must not let a coward seek shelter behind nonviolence so-called. Not knowing the stuff of which nonviolence is made, many have honestly believed that running away from danger every time was a virtue compared to offering resistance, especially when it was fraught with danger to one's life. As a teacher of nonviolence I must, so far as it is possible for me, guard against such an unmanly belief.

Nonviolence does not admit of running away from danger... . Between violence and cowardly flight I can only prefer violence to cowardice.

My life is an indivisible whole, and all my attitudes run into one another; and they all have their rise in my insatiable love for mankind.

In order that knowledge may not run riot, the author of the Gita has insisted on devotion accompanying it and has given it the first place.

To run away from danger, instead of facing it, is to deny one's faith in man and God, even one's own self. It were better for one to drown oneself than live to declare such bankruptcy of faith.

Do not concentrate on showing the misdeeds of the government, for we have to convert and befriend those who run it.

We may stumble and fall but shall rise again; it should be enough if we did not run away from the battle.
