When two nations are fighting, the duty of a votary of ahimsa is to stop the war.

By ahimsa we will be able to save the cow and also win the friendship of the English.

As I am, so are these. As are these, so am I. Drawing the parallel to yourself, neither kill nor get others to kill.

All tremble at violence; all fear death. Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill.

There is no happiness higher than what a man obtains by this attitude of non-offensiveness, to all creation.

Conquer the heart of the enemy with truth and love, not by violence.
