Swaraj of a people means the sum total of the Swaraj (self-rule) of individuals.

Mahatma Gandhi

Freedom, in a political context, means freedom from government coercion. It does not mean freedom from the landlord, from the employer, or freedom from the laws of nature which do not provide men with automatic prosperity. It means freedom from the coercive power of the state ' and nothing else

Ayn Rand

Execution of the constructive programme in its entirety means more than Swaraj. It means Ram Raj, Khudai Sultanat or the Divine Kingdom.

Mahatma Gandhi

Once two persons are tied together freedom is lost and anger arises. When freedom is lost everything becomes ugly. Love means that freedom remains intact: marriage means that freedom has been dropped. You have bargained for permanence, for security, and you have paid for it with freedom.

Rajneesh

Swaraj is not a product of excitement or intoxication. Swaraj will be the natural and inevitable result of business like habits.

Mahatma Gandhi

"It astonishes me to find... [that so many] of our countrymen... should be contented to live under a system which leaves to their governors the power of taking from them the trial by jury in civil cases, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of commerce, the habeas corpus laws, and of yoking them with a standing army. This is a degeneracy in the principles of liberty... which I [would not have expected for at least] four centuries."

Thomas Jefferson

Lovers of Swaraj cannot rest till a solution is found which would allay Mussalman apprehensions and yet not endanger Swaraj.

Mahatma Gandhi

'Freedom' means a lot to conservatives, but they have such a narrow sense of what it means. They think a lot about freedom from - freedom from government, freedom from regulation - and precious little about freedom to. Freedom to is absolutely something that has to be safeguarded by good government, just as it could be impaired by bad government.

Pete Buttigieg

The Swaraj of my dream is the poor man's Swaraj.

Mahatma Gandhi

Prosecution of the constructive programme means constructing the structure of Swaraj.

Mahatma Gandhi

Swaraj would be real Swaraj only when there would be no occasion for safeguarding any rights.

Mahatma Gandhi

Swaraj means even under dominion status a capacity to declare independence at will.

Mahatma Gandhi

Every moment of my existence is dedicated to the winning of Swaraj by means of truth and nonviolence.

Mahatma Gandhi

Freedom of speech means freedom for those who you despise, and freedom to express the most despicable views. It also means that the government cannot pick and choose which expressions to authorize and which to prevent.
