    But I can boldly declare and with certainty that so long as there is even a handful of men true to their pledge, there can be only one end to the struggle. And that is victory.

    A violent man’s activity is most visible, while it lasts. But it is always transitory.... Hitler and Mussolini on the one hand and Stalin on the other are able to show the immediate effectiveness of violence.… But the effects of Buddha’s non-violent action persist and are likely to grow with age. And the more it is practiced, the more effective and inexhaustible it becomes, and ultimately the whole world stands agape and exclaims, “a miracle has happened.” All miracles are due to the silent and effective working of invisible force. Nonviolence is the most invisible and the most effective.

    Real Swaraj will come not by the acquisition of authority by a few, but by the acquisition of the capacity by all to resist authority when it is abused. In other words, Swaraj is to be attained by educating the masses to a sense of their capacity to regulate and control authority.
