“I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor…

But I believe that nonviolence is infinitely superior to violence, forgiveness is more manly than punishment… A mouse hardly forgives a cat when it allows itself to be torn to pieces by her… I do not believe myself to be a helpless creature. Only I want to use India's and my strength for better purpose…
Let me not be misunderstood. Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.”
- Mohandas Gandhi, “The Doctrine of the Sword”, 1920
