Civil Disobedience Becomes A Sacred Duty When

... Man Was Not Born A Carnivorous Animal, But Born To Live On The Fruits And Herbs That The Earth Grows. I Know We Must All Err. I Would Give Up Milk If I Could, But I Cannot. I Have Made That Experiment Times Without Number. I Could Not, After A Serious Illness, Regain My Strength, Unless I Went Back To Milk. That Has Been The Tragedy Of My Life. But The Basis Of My Vegetarianism Is Not Physical, But Moral. If Anybody Said That I Should Die If I Did Not Take Beef Tea Or Mutton, Even On Medical Advice, I Would Prefer Death. That Is The Basis Of My Vegetarianism.

My Modesty Has Prevented Me From Declaring From The House Top That The Message Of Non-co-operation, Nonviolence And Swadeshi Is A Message To The World.

What We Are Doing To The Forests Of The World Is But A Mirror Reflection Of What We Are Doing To Ourselves And To One Another.

Illness Or Disease Is Only Nature's Warning That Filth Has Accumulated In Some Portion Or Other Of The Body; And It Would Surely Be The Part Of Wisdom To Allow Nature To Remove The Filth, Instead Of Covering It Up With The Help Of Medicines.

The Nonviolence I Teach Is Active Nonviolence Of The Strongest. But The Weakest Can Partake In It Without Becoming Weaker.
