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.

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

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.

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