In order for non-violence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. ~ Kwame
Non Violence quotes by Kwame
The horror of Gandhi's murder lies not in the political motives behind it or in its consequences for Indian policy or for the future of non-violence; the horror lies simply in the fact that any man could look into the face of this extraordinary person and deliberately pull a trigger. ~ Mary McCarthy
Non Violence quotes by Mary McCarthy
Love and Non – Violence cannot heal the wounds which corruption and injustice have caused. ~ Ashutosh Naliapara
Non Violence quotes by Ashutosh Naliapara
Non-violence is more powerful than violence. Nature eliminates violent animals bit by bit. ~ Amit Ray
Non Violence quotes by Amit Ray
Non-violence requires a double faith, faith in God and also faith in man. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Non Violence quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is no non-violence if we merely love those that love us. It is non-violence only when we love those that hate us. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
The science of war leads one to dictatorship, pure and simple. The science of non-violence alone can lead one to pure democracy. Power based on love is thousand times more effective and permanent than power derived from fear of punishment. It is a blasphemy to say non-violence can be practiced only by individuals and never by nations which are composed of individuals. The nearest approach to purest anarchy would be a democracy based on non-violence. A society organized and run on the basis of complete non-violence would be the purest anarchy. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
We are opposed to all cruelty, so as advocates of non-violence, opponents of oppression, people who abhor the cruelty inherent in slaughtering we say the only ethical way to consume flesh is to pick up the carcass of an animal who has died naturally or been killed accidentally, say by being hit by a car, and eat that. ~ Ingrid Newkirk
Non Violence quotes by Ingrid Newkirk
Courtesy towards opponents and eagerness to understand their view-point is the ABC of non-violence. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
We are convinced that non-violence is more powerful than violence. We are convinced that non-violence supports you if you have a just and moral cause ... If you use violence, you have to sell part of yourself for that violence. Then you are no longer a master of your own struggle. ~ Cesar Chavez
Non Violence quotes by Cesar Chavez
Peace is a deeper reality than violence."
p. 231 ~ Stanley Hauerwas
Non Violence quotes by Stanley Hauerwas
I have an implicit faith ... that mankind can only be saved through non-violence, which is the central teaching of the Bible, as I have understood the Bible. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Non-violence is not a passive idea. It is ethical activism at its political best ~ Ela Bhatt
Non Violence quotes by Ela Bhatt
tactical refusal of confrontation is itself only a stratagem of warfare. It's easy to understand, for example, why the Oaxaca Commune immediately declared itself peaceful. It wasn't a matter of refuting war, but of refusing to be defeated in a confrontation with the Mexican state and its henchmen. As some Cairo comrades explained it, "One mustn't mistake the tactic we employ when we chant 'nonviolence' for a fetishizing of non-violence ~ Anonymous
Non Violence quotes by Anonymous
Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages. ~ Thomas A. Edison
Non Violence quotes by Thomas A. Edison
In the meanwhile, just see how profitable the fruits of non-violence are in this life. You stay pure while someone else, someone like me and my Rajput clan, does the sinning and the killing. While you religiously refrain yourself from bloodying your hands, you lend vast sums of money to finance the mightiest armies at minuscule decimal point percentages which add up to monstrous sums of interest. ~ Kiran Nagarkar
Non Violence quotes by Kiran Nagarkar
Conflict exists only when there are two opposing things: fear and non-fear,violence and non-violence. ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti
Non Violence quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
I don't belong to a church or political party or a group of any kind. I feel that Amnesty International is the most civilized organization in history. Its currency is the written word. Its weapon is the letter; that's why I am a member. I believe in its non-violence; I believe in its effectiveness. Its dignity and its sense of commitment. Its focus on individuals and the concentration and tenacity with which they defend those imprisoned for their ideas has earned it the cautious respect of repressive governments throughout the world. ~ Sting
Non Violence quotes by Sting
Woman is the companion of man, gifted with equal mental capacity ... If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior ... If non-violence is the law of our being, the future is with women. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Non-violence ... is the only thing that the atom bomb cannot destroy. I did not move a muscle when I first heard that the atom bomb had wiped out Hiroshima. On the contrary, I said to myself, Unless now the world adopts non-violence, it will spell certain suicide for mankind. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
I've always been strongly on the side of non-violence. ~ Aung San Suu Kyi
Non Violence quotes by Aung San Suu Kyi
Nonviolence is not sterile passivity, but a powerful moral force which makes for social transformation. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Non Violence quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Not violence, nor untruth but non-violence and Truth are the laws of our being. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
We have to make truth and non-violence not matters for mere individual practice but for practice by groups and communities and nations. That at any rate is my dream. I shall live and die in trying to realize it. My faith helps me to discover new truths every day. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
The true master lives in truth, in goodness and restraint, non-violence, moderation, and purity. ~ Gautama Buddha
Non Violence quotes by Gautama Buddha
I and some colleagues came to the conclusion that as violence in this country was inevitable, it would be wrong and unrealistic for African leaders to continue preaching peace and non-violence at a time when the government met our peaceful demands with force. It was only when all else had failed, when all channels of peaceful protest had been barred to us, that the decision was made to embark on violent forms of political struggle. ~ Nelson Mandela
Non Violence quotes by Nelson Mandela
In the use of force, one simplifies the situation by assuming that the evil to be overcome is clear-cut, definite, and irreversible. Hence there remains but one thing: to eliminate it. Any dialogue with the sinner, any question of the irreversibility of his act, only means faltering and failure. Failure to eliminate evil is itself a defeat. Anything that even remotely risks such defeat is in itself capitulation to evil. The irreversibility of evil then reaches out to contaminate even the tolerant thought of the hesitant crusader who, momentarily, doubts the total evil of the enemy he is about to eliminate. p. 21 ~ Thomas Merton
Non Violence quotes by Thomas Merton
I feel that non-violence is really the only way that we can follow because violence is just so self-defeating. A riot ends up creating many more problems for the negro community than it solved. We can through violence burn down a building, but you can't establish justice. You can murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder through violence. You can murder a hater, but you can't murder hate. And what we're trying to get rid of is hate, injustice, and all of these other things that continue the long night of man's inhumanity to man. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Non Violence quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Truth, Peace and Non-violence form the central tenets of the 'Idea of India'! ~ Narendra Modi
Non Violence quotes by Narendra Modi
I believe that a man is the strongest soldier for daring to die unarmed. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Non-violence, which is the quality of the heart, cannot come by an appeal to the brain. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
If there is real non-violence in us, there can be no war in the world. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Non Violence quotes by Abhijit Naskar
If somebody's in prison for non-violence, drug usage, and never committed a hard crime, they should be pardoned and let out. ~ Ron Paul
Non Violence quotes by Ron Paul
An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Islam teaches tolerance, not hatred; universal brotherhood, not enmity; peace, and not violence. ~ Parwez Musharraf
Non Violence quotes by Parwez Musharraf
... violence is an ugly thing and in the calmer moments I racked my brains for other ways to get what I wanted. Better a brain than a fist. A brain can hold anything, from giant things like distant stars and planets, to tiny things we can't see, like germs. ... A brain can hold a whole universe, a fist just holds what little it can grab. Or hits what it can't. ~ C.A. Fletcher
Non Violence quotes by C.A. Fletcher
Non-violence doesn't mean staying silent in the face of evil, rather it means acting out of the sense of responsibility, instead of reacting out of circumstantial impulse. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Non Violence quotes by Abhijit Naskar
Together we can decrease the level of violence, raise awareness of our activities and save lives around the world. The impact of a day of global ceasefire and non-violence cannot be underestimated. ~ Jeremy Gilley
Non Violence quotes by Jeremy Gilley
...if we do not know how to defend ourselves, our women and our places of worship by force of suffering, i.e., nonviolence, we must, if we are men, be at least able to defend all these by fighting." (MLK)
"...If given a choice between violent resistance and passive acceptance, King and Gandhi both accepted violence..."
"...like violence, it [non-violent resistance] was aggressive, but it was spiritually, bot physically, so."

"...At the same time the mind and the emotions are active, actively trying to persuade the opponent to change his ways and convince him that he is mistaken and to lift him to a higher level of existence. ~ S. Nassir Ghaemi
Non Violence quotes by S. Nassir Ghaemi
Any type of violence is against God, against religion, against spirituality, against humanity, and against nature. Maturity comes only through non-violence, love, and all-inclusiveness. ~ Amit Ray
Non Violence quotes by Amit Ray
If we see anyone who renounces his rights in regard to worldly matters and forgives even strangers, not to speak of relations, we should think of him as a good man. If we desist from beating up a thief or any other felon, do nothing to get him punished but, after admonishing him and recovering from him the stolen article, let him go, we would be credited with humanity and our action would be regarded as an instance of non-violence; a contrary course would be looked upon as violence. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Humankind has to get out of violence only through non-violence. Hatred can be overcome only by love. Counter - hatred only increases the surface as well as the depth of hatred. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Non-violence is a very powerful weapon. Most people don't understand the power of non-violence and tend to be amazed by the whole idea. Those who have been involved in bringing about change and see the difference between violence and non-violence are firmly committed to a lifetime of non-violence, not because it is easy or because it is cowardly, but because it is an effective and very powerful way. ~ Cesar Chavez
Non Violence quotes by Cesar Chavez
I think the self-burning itself on practice of non-violence. These people, you see, they easily use bomb explosive, more casualty people. But they didn't do that. Only sacrifice their own life. So this also is part of practice of non-violence. ~ Dalai Lama
Non Violence quotes by Dalai Lama
Through violence you may murder the hater, but you cannot murder hate. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Non Violence quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
He who trifles with truth cuts at the root of Ahimsa [non-violence]. He who is angry is guilty of Himsa. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Compassion stands on the pillars of trust, love, awareness and detachment. ~ Amit Ray
Non Violence quotes by Amit Ray
Non -violence is infinitely superior to violence , forgiveness is more manly than punishment. Forgiveness is the ornament. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
The direction of research . . .should be:
- toward non-violence rather than violence,
- towards a harmonious cooperation with nature rather than with warfare against nature;
- towards the noiseless, low-energy, elegant, and economical solutions normally applied in nature rather than [our often] noisy, high-energy, brutal, wasteful, and clumsy solutions. ~ E.F. Schumacher
Non Violence quotes by E.F. Schumacher
In my humble opinion, non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good. But in the past, non-cooperation has been deliberately expressed in violence to the evildoer. I am endeavoring to show my countrymen that violent non-cooperation only multiplies evil and that evil can only be sustained by violence. Withdrawal of support of evil requires complete abstention from violence. Non-violence implies voluntary submission to the penalty for non-cooperation with evil. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
In the secret of my heart I am in perpetual quarrel with God that He should allow such things [as the war] to go on. My non-violence seems almost impotent. But the answer comes at the end of the daily quarrel that neither God nor non-violence is impotent. Impotence is in men. I must try on without losing faith even though I may break in the attempt. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Whoever tries to understand the Human Values of Truth, Righteous conduct, Peace, Love and Non-violence properly, who practises these values and propagates them with zeal and sincerity can alone be described as a truly educated person. ~ Sathya Sai Baba
Non Violence quotes by Sathya Sai Baba
War traumatizes soldier and civilian alike; warfare is a profit-making racket; warfare resolves nothing that negotiations can't resolve better; the weapons we have now make non-violence the only option to planetary annihilation. ~ Madeline Taylor
Non Violence quotes by Madeline Taylor
Compassion and love constitute non-violence in action. They are the source of all spiritual qualities: forgiveness, tolerance, all the virtues. They give meaning to our activities and makes them constructive. There is nothing amazing about being rich or highly educated; only when the individual has a warm heart do these attributes become worthwhile. ~ Dalai Lama
Non Violence quotes by Dalai Lama
The choice is not between violence and nonviolence but between nonviolence and nonexistence. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Non Violence quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Non-violence is the article of faith. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Colorful demonstrations and weekend marches are vital but alone are not powerful enough to stop wars. Wars will be stopped only when soldiers refuse to fight, when workers refuse to load weapons onto ships and aircraft, when people boycott the economic outposts of Empire that are strung across the globe. ~ Arundhati Roy
Non Violence quotes by Arundhati Roy
Modern economics does not distinguish between renewable and non-renewable materials, as its very method is to equalise and quantify everything by means of a money price. Thus, taking various alternative fuels, like coal, oil, wood, or water-power: the only difference between them recognised by modern economics is relative cost per equivalent unit. The cheapest is automatically the one to be preferred, as to do otherwise would be irrational and "uneconomic." From a Buddhist point of view, of course, this will not do; the essential difference between nonrenewable fuels like coal and oil on the one hand and renewable fuels like wood and water-power on the other cannot be simply overlooked. Non-renewable goods must be used only if they are indispensable, and then only with the greatest care and the most meticulous concern for conservation. To use them heedlessly or extravagantly is an act of violence, and while complete non-violence may not be attainable on this earth, there is nonetheless an ineluctable duty on man to aim at the ideal of non-violence in all he does…

As the world's resources of non-renewable fuels - coal, oil, and natural gas - are exceedingly unevenly distributed over the globe and undoubtedly limited in quantity, it is clear that their exploitation at an ever-increasing rate is an act of violence against nature which must almost inevitably lead to violence between men. ~ Ernst F. Schumacher
Non Violence quotes by Ernst F. Schumacher
To achieve peace, it is crucial to eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy that prevents peace processes from advancing. ~ Widad Akreyi
Non Violence quotes by Widad Akreyi
I never supported violence. Before the formation of TMC, I was a member of the Congress Party. Gandhi's Congress. Non-violence is a philosophy that runs deep. ~ Mamata Banerjee
Non Violence quotes by Mamata Banerjee
The enumeration of human values as five - Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Love and Non-violence is not correct. They are all facets of the foundational humanness. They grow together; they are absence of Inner conflicts. How can one have peace when he revels in violence of speach and action? ~ Sathya Sai Baba
Non Violence quotes by Sathya Sai Baba
I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
The transformation of the world is brought about by the transformation of oneself, because the self is the product and a part of the total process of human existence. To transform oneself, self-knowledge is essential; without knowing what you are, there is no basis for right thought, and without knowing yourself there cannot be transformation. One must know oneself as on is, not as on wishes to be, which is merely an ideal and there for fictitious, unreal; it is only that which is that can be transformed, not that which you wish to be. To know oneself as one is requires and extraordinary alertness of mind, because what is, is constantly undergoing transformation, change; and to follow it swiftly the mind must not be tethered to any particular dogma or belief, to any particular pattern of action. If you would follow anything, it is no good being tethered. To know yourself, there must be the awareness, the alertness of mind in which there is freedom from all beliefs, from all idealization, because beliefs and ideals only give you a color, perverting true perception. If you want to know what you are, you cannot imagine or have belief in something which you are not. If I am greedy, envious, violent, merely having an ideal of non-violence, of non-greed, is of little value. The understanding of what you are, whatever it be – ugly or beautiful, wicked or mischievous – the understanding of what you are, without distortion, is the beginning of virtue. Virtue is essential, for it gives ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti
Non Violence quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
Non-violence means dialogue, using our language, the human language. Dialogue means compromise; respecting each other's rights; in the spirit of reconciliation there is a real solution to conflict and disagreement. There is no hundred percent winner, no hundred percent loser - not that way but half-and-half. That is the practical way, the only way. ~ Dalai Lama XIV
Non Violence quotes by Dalai Lama XIV
I really believe in non-violence, but I also believe in a short of resistance that has to be respectful. ~ Alexandra Paul
Non Violence quotes by Alexandra Paul
Sword and fist are the instruments of primitive; non-violence is the instrument of developed man! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Non Violence quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
Non-violence is a good policy when conditions permit. ~ Nelson Mandela
Non Violence quotes by Nelson Mandela
H. G. Wells was not the only one to mention Churchill and Hitler in the same breath: "Churchill and Hitler are striving to change the nature of their respective countrymen by forcing and hammering violent methods on them. Man may be suppressed in this manner but he cannot be changed. Ahimsa [non-violence in the Hindu tradition], on the other hand, can change human nature and sooner than men like Churchill and Hitler." ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Non-violence should never be used as a shield for cowardice. It is a weapon for the brave. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
There is no such thing as defeat in non-violence. ~ Cesar Chavez
Non Violence quotes by Cesar Chavez
When the days become longer and there is more sunshine, the grass becomes fresh and, consequently, we feel very happy. On the other hand, in autumn, one leaf falls down and another leaf falls down. The beautiful plants become as if dead and we do not feel very happy. Why? I think it is because deep down our human nature likes construction, and does not like destruction. Naturally, every action which is destructive is against human nature. Constructiveness is the human way. Therefore, I think that in terms of basic human feeling, violence is not good. Non-violence is the only way. ~ Dalai Lama
Non Violence quotes by Dalai Lama
Mankind has to get out of violence only through non-violence. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Non Violence quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
As long as it is assumed that war is always an available option, we will not be forced to imagine any alternative to war. ~ Stanley Hauerwas
Non Violence quotes by Stanley Hauerwas
Among all the methods, non-violence is most successful, and I strongly believe that only non-violence can set the true mood of peace and harmony among the nuclear nations. Our experiments with non-violence should be more wide, more engaging and more humble. ~ Amit Ray
Non Violence quotes by Amit Ray
Nonviolence is a way of life, where the task is to awaken the underlying goodness of every human being. ~ Amit Ray
Non Violence quotes by Amit Ray
When you practice a life of non-violence you no longer need seek the truth, the truth finds you. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Human Rights calls for responsible behavior on the part of every individual being, and the society at large. As entwined portion of rights, duties follow, thereby it calls for performance of duties such as practicing nonviolence, solving conflicts with a dialogue, respect for the other individual or a nation, respect for human rights of other individuals etc ~ Henrietta Newton Martin
Non Violence quotes by Henrietta Newton Martin
I strongly believe that non-violence should be taught at school levels as an important subject. Specially experiments with non-violence should be taught with due importance. I urge the United Nations to play its role to spread the value of non-violence in the school levels across the world. ~ Amit Ray
Non Violence quotes by Amit Ray
As long as the peace-makers are armed with assault rifles, it's highly unlikely we'll ever have peace. ~ Wayne Gerard Trotman
Non Violence quotes by Wayne Gerard Trotman
Non-violence is not glamorous, and you don't see the effects right away. ~ Julia Bacha
Non Violence quotes by Julia Bacha
Woman, I hold, is the personification of self-sacrifice, but unfortunately today she does not realize what a tremendous advantage she has over man. As Tolstoy used to say, they are laboring under the hypnotic influence of man. If they would realize the strength of non-violence they would not consent to be called the weaker sex. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
I believe much trouble and blood would be saved if we opened our hearts more. ~ Chief Joseph
Non Violence quotes by Chief Joseph
The ego is exploitation; love is service. And the service that flows from love, freely and spontaneously, is non-violence. ~ Rajneesh
Non Violence quotes by Rajneesh
I do not hold to non-violence for moral reasons, but for political and practical reasons. ~ Aung San Suu Kyi
Non Violence quotes by Aung San Suu Kyi
We are killing, every one of us, every moment of the day - just by living. And if one realizes this, is this very realization itself not a conscious consent to murder? If a truly circumspect Jain was truly serious about not killing anything, wouldn't his only recourse be to kill himself? ~ Mark X.
Non Violence quotes by Mark X.
We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Non Violence quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
How baffling you are, oh Church, and yet how I love you! How you have made me suffer, and yet how much I owe you! I would like to see you destroyed, and yet I need your presence. You have given me so much scandal and yet you have made me understand what sanctity is. I have seen nothing in the world more devoted to obscurity, more compromised, more false, and yet I have touched nothing more pure, more generous, more beautiful. How often I have wanted to shut the doors of my soul in your face, and how often I have prayed to die in the safety of your arms.

No, I cannot free myself from you, because I am you, though not completely. And besides, where would I go? Would I establish another? I would not be able to establish it without the same faults, for they are the same faults I carry in me. And if I did establish another, it would be my Church, not the Church of Christ. I am old enough to know that I am no better than anyone else. …)

The Church has the power to make me holy but it is made up, from the first to the last, only of sinners. And what sinners! It has the omnipotent and invincible power to renew the Miracle of the Eucharist, but is made up of men who are stumbling in the dark, who fight every day against the temptation of losing their faith. It brings a message of pure transparency but it is incarnated in slime, such is the substance of the world. It speaks of the sweetness of its Master, of its non-violence, but there was a time in history when ~ Carlo Carretto
Non Violence quotes by Carlo Carretto
The sincere effort to accept and promote the human values - Truth, Right Conduct, Peace, Non-Violence and Love. These five values are a essential for a full and worthwhile life as the five vital airs or pranas mentioned in the scriptures. ~ Sathya Sai Baba
Non Violence quotes by Sathya Sai Baba
Despite the fact that Christianity initially was a non-violent radical movement of God's people, many today who claim to be of Christ seem to see war as needed and even God ordained. Such blasphemy is hardly new. Since the days of Constantine (I) when the State and the Church made an unholy alliance, the deception of redemptive warfare has been clung to as if it were a life belt. Yet, ever since the time of Jesus the Messiah and prophets before Him many radicals (often persecuted and outcast) have questioned the morality of war. Now in the 21st Century generations are also rising up against the war machine among both the secular and spiritual sector of society. They recognise that war is for power, economy and pride, not justice or peace. Long may the voices in the wilderness be heard, as they prepare the way for the Lord, who when he comes again will be the undoing of evil and the establisher of a kingdom not of this world that will live in peace forever!!! ~ David Holdsworth
Non Violence quotes by David Holdsworth
The first principal of non-violent action is that of non-cooperation with everything humiliating. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
My non-violence bids me dedicate myself to the service of the minorities. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence is kindling light of love into the dark places and budding trust from the threshold of hopelessness. ~ Amit Ray
Non Violence quotes by Amit Ray
Just as one must learn the art of killing in the training for violence, so one must learn the art of dying in the training for non-violence. Violence does not mean the emancipation from fear, but discovering the means of combating the cause of fear. Nonviolence, on the other hand, has no cause for fear. The votary of nonviolence has to cultivate the capacity for sacrifice of the highest type in order to be free from fear. He recks not if he should lose his land, his wealth, his life. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Non Violence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Perhaps you couldn't help being angry... but you could certainly stop yourself from repaying one offense with another. ~ Gail Carson Levine
Non Violence quotes by Gail Carson Levine
Mahatma Gandhi was a man of peace and non-violence and lived by the Hindu principle of ahimsa, action based on refusal to do harm. As his war-strewn presidency shows, George Bush knows nothing about ahimsa and non-violence. Bush should reconsider this cynical, disrespectful display of symbolism. ~ Kevin Martin
Non Violence quotes by Kevin Martin
The most awful tyranny is that of the proximate Utopia where the last sins are currently being eliminated and where, tomorrow, there will be no more sins because all the sinners will have been wiped out. p. 22 ~ Thomas Merton
Non Violence quotes by Thomas Merton
