Freedom means adopting control, discipline and the rule of law by your own will.
Cleanliness is more than freedom.
Civil disobedience was carried out as a mass movement to achieve freedom.
Unless people remove the feeling of untouchability from their hearts, we cannot have real freedom.
To protect democracy, the people must have a feeling of freedom, self-respect and unity.
If all parts of the country start demanding the right to decide for themselves, then neither a nation nor freedom will survive.
Swaraj means the willingness to declare independence if desired even if it is under somebody else's influence.
We must learn to be self-reliant and free ourselves from the protection and patronage of schools, courts, government which we want to abolish if they do not reform.
In my imagination freedom means nothing less than the realization of the kingdom of god within you and on this earth.
The attainment of national freedom is to me the quest for truth. I do not crave freedom that I personally do not understand, but freedom from british slavery.
Freedom for every unit of the nation without any discrimination of caste, colour or religion is what I seek.
