We do not look for compromise; rather, we seek to resolve the conflict to everyone's complete satisfaction. ~ Marshall B. Rosenberg
Nonviolent quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
So that the failures to pass a civil rights bill isn't because of Black Power, isn't because of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee; it's not because of the rebellions that are occurring in the major cities. ~ Stokely Carmichael
Nonviolent quotes by Stokely Carmichael
Nonviolent action involves opposing the opponent's power, including his police & military capacity, not with the weapons chosen by him but by quite different means ... Repression by the opponent is used against his own power position in a kind of political " ju-jitsu " and the very sources of his power thus reduced or removed, with the result that his political and military position is seriously weakened or destroyed. ~ Gene Sharp
Nonviolent quotes by Gene Sharp
If all were nonviolent, there would be no anarchy and there would be no question of anybody being armed for meeting aggression from without. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolent quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Be the change you wish to see in the world," said Gandhi. If you want a nonviolent world, you cannot use violence to achieve it. He also said, "In the end the British will walk out because 100,000 British cannot control 350 million Indians if those Indians refuse to cooperate. ~ Russell Brand
Nonviolent quotes by Russell Brand
As the tension between the Protestants and the Church of Rome intensified, so did the desire for a third way among dissenting groups. Soon a new group emerged, though in some senses it was also an old group - one that felt it could trace its origins all the way back to the New Testament. Known collectively as the Radical Reformation, these persecuted groups often advocated a nonviolent ethic, the separation of church and state, and a desire for both personal and corporate holiness. The ideas of these radicals spread through Europe, and over the years the Amish, Mennonites and Anabaptists, and to a lesser degree the Covenanters and Quakers, emerged or were influenced by this movement. ~ David Holdsworth
Nonviolent quotes by David Holdsworth
Throughout the 64-day campaign, events and activities for peace and nonviolence take place all around the world, highlighting existing peacebuilding initiatives and inspiring new year-round activities for a more peaceful, nonviolent, just and sustainable world. ~ Robert Alan Aurthur
Nonviolent quotes by Robert Alan Aurthur
Compassion can be roughly defined in terms of a state of mind that is nonviolent, nonharming, and nonaggressive. It is a mental attitude based on the wish for others to be free of their suffering and is associated with a sense of commitment, responsibility, and respect towards others. ~ Dalai Lama
Nonviolent quotes by Dalai Lama
History's greatest lessons is that once the state embraces a religion, the nature of that religion changes radically. It loses its nonviolent component ~ Mark Kurlansky
Nonviolent quotes by Mark Kurlansky
All moralistic judgments, whether positive or negative, are tragic expressions of unmet needs. ~ Marshall B. Rosenberg
Nonviolent quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
Arms and legs thrashing. The hammer of blood.
I'm coming, says Jude.
And holds her breath. Orgasm is brief, nonviolent.
What color? I say
Devastating blue, she says. The pale blue eyes of a murdered boy.
Very nice.
You remembered, she says.
Jude comes in colors. How could I forget. Trembling blond orgasms that seem to piss her off and rare pink orgasms that never end. Chemical red orgasms that fill her with guilt and perfect orgasms black as fresh earth. Orgasms shadowy and gray that may or may not cause her to weep and orgasms the color of bruised skin, orgasms that fade from purple to yellow and remain visible for days. ~ Will Christopher Baer
Nonviolent quotes by Will Christopher Baer
An act of violence against any innocent person eludes moral justification, disgraces the millions of Americans and people throughout the world who have united in peaceful protest against police brutality, and dishonors our proud inheritance of nonviolent resistance. ~ Benjamin Crump
Nonviolent quotes by Benjamin Crump
One can imagine nonviolent or minimally violent ways to reduce or eliminate hatred, but there's no mollifying evil. ~ Timothy Noah
Nonviolent quotes by Timothy Noah
I believe the principles and techniques in this book, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life, can literally change the world, but more importantly, they can change the quality of your life with your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your co-workers and everyone else you interact with. I cannot recommend it highly enough. ~ Jack Canfield
Nonviolent quotes by Jack Canfield
Addiction should never be treated as a crime. It has to be treated as a health problem. We do not send alcoholics to jail in this country. Over 500,000 people are in our jails who are nonviolent drug users. ~ Ralph Nader
Nonviolent quotes by Ralph Nader
Not getting our needs fulfilled is painful - but it's a sweet pain, not suffering, which is what comes from life-alienated thinking and interpretation. ~ Marshall B. Rosenberg
Nonviolent quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
In any nonviolent campaign there are four basic steps: collection of the facts to determine whether injustices exist; negotiation; self-purification; and direct action. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nonviolent quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Before we tackle the gangs and the basic story, we have to make sure that we have liberated ourselves from how we have been educated and make sure we are coming from a spirituality of our own choosing. ~ Marshall B. Rosenberg
Nonviolent quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
The survival of democracy depends on the renunciation of violence and the development of nonviolent means to combat evil and advance the good. ~ A.J. Muste
Nonviolent quotes by A.J. Muste
The same hot lightning that burns your blood with passion–– cools your fears with peace. ~ Aberjhani
Nonviolent quotes by Aberjhani
Freedom is never given to anybody, for the oppressor has you in domination because he plans to keep you there." And he went beyond Douglass to espouse a doctrine of passive, non-violent resistance. "Hate begets hate, violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness," King said. "Our aim must never be to defeat or humiliate the white man, but to win his friendship and understanding. ... This is a nonviolent protest. We are depending on moral and spiritual forces. ~ Robert A. Caro
Nonviolent quotes by Robert A. Caro
The four-week period of Advent before Christmas - and the six-week period of Lent before Easter - are times of penance and life change for Christians. In our book The Last Week, we suggested that Lent was a penance time for having been in the wrong procession and a preparation time for moving over to the right one by Palm Sunday. That day's violent procession of the horse-mounted Pilate and his soldiers was contrasted with the nonviolent procession of the donkey-mounted Jesus and his companions. We asked: in which procession would we have walked then and in which do we walk now? ~ Marcus J. Borg
Nonviolent quotes by Marcus J. Borg
Empathy before education. ~ Marshall B. Rosenberg
Nonviolent quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
The more we talk about the past, the less we heal from it. ~ Marshall B. Rosenberg
Nonviolent quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
The bravery of the nonviolent is vastly superior to that of the violent. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolent quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
A good listener truly wants to know the speaker. ~ John Powell
Nonviolent quotes by John Powell
Politics is not perfect but it's the best available nonviolent means of changing how we live. ~ Maynard Jackson
Nonviolent quotes by Maynard Jackson
Nonviolent action on behalf of justice is no automatic forumla with promise of success: but neither is war. After all, at least half of the people who go to war for some cause deemed worthy of it are defeated. ~ John Howard Yoder
Nonviolent quotes by John Howard Yoder
Nonviolent action, the Negro saw, was the way to supplement, not replace, the progress of change. It was the way to divest himself of passivity without arraying himself in vindictive force. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nonviolent quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Do not admire the warriors; do not admire the fighters; condemn the fist! Get rid of this low culture of wildness! Admire the nonviolent; applaud the peaceful; despise the brute force! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Nonviolent quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
The black people in these films seemed to love the worst things in life - love the dogs that rent their children apart, the tear gas that clawed at their lungs, the fire-hoses that tore off their clothes and tumbled them into the streets. They seemed to love the men who raped them, the women who cursed them, love the children who spat on them, the terrorists that bombed them. Why are they showing this to us? Why were only our heroes nonviolent? I speak not of the morality of nonviolence, but of the sense that blacks are in especial need of this morality. ~ Ta-Nehisi Coates
Nonviolent quotes by Ta-Nehisi Coates
On some campuses, change is effected through nonviolent or even violent means. ~ Hillary Clinton
Nonviolent quotes by Hillary Clinton
We aren't going to let any mace stop us. We are masters in our nonviolent movement in disarming police forces; they don't know what to do. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nonviolent quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
I believe in the capacity of India to offer nonviolent battle to the English rulers. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolent quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
You may well ask: "Why direct action? Why sit-ins, marches and so forth? Isn't negotiation a better path?" You are quite right in calling for negotiation. Indeed, this is the very purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nonviolent quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
While we may not consider the way we talk to be 'violent,' our words often lead to hurt and pain, whether for others or for ourselves. ~ Marshall B. Rosenberg
Nonviolent quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
In 1989, thirteen nations comprising 1,695,000 people experienced nonviolent revolutions that succeeded beyond anyone's wildest expectations ... If we add all the countries touched by major nonviolent actions in our century (the Philippines, South Africa ... the independence movement in India ... ) the figure reaches 3,337,400,000, a staggering 65% of humanity! All this in the teeth of the assertion, endlessly repeated, that nonviolence doesn't work in the 'real' world. ~ Walter Wink
Nonviolent quotes by Walter Wink
These are nonviolent people who have lost their freedom simply because they expressed their ideas ... In truth, they are heroes of our time. ~ Ai Weiwei
Nonviolent quotes by Ai Weiwei
I have tried to offer them my deepest compassion while maintaining my conviction that social change comes most meaningfully through nonviolent action. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nonviolent quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
A nonviolent system of government is clearly an impossibility so long as the wide gulf between the rich and the hungry millions persists. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolent quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
I highly recommend the approach Marshall Rosenberg details in Nonviolent Communication (2nd Edition 2008), which has essentially three parts: When X happens [described factually, not judgmentally], I feel Y [especially the deeper, softer emotions], because I need Z [fundamental needs and wants]. ~ Rick Hanson
Nonviolent quotes by Rick Hanson
No, he wasn't a Jain, thought the Swede, but he might as well have been - he was just as pathetically and naively nonviolent. The idiocy of the uprightness of the goals he had set. ~ Philip Roth
Nonviolent quotes by Philip Roth
There is a more excellent way, of love and nonviolent protest. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nonviolent quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
We are this divine energy. It's not something we have to attain. We just have to realize it, to be present to it. ~ Marshall B. Rosenberg
Nonviolent quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
Civil disobedience is the only nonviolent escape from the soul-destroying heat of violence. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolent quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolent non-co-operation, I am convinced, is a sacred duty at times. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolent quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
To be nonviolent to human beings and to be a killer or enemy of the poor animals is Satan's philosophy. In this age there is always enmity against poor animals, and therefore the poor creatures are always anxious. The reaction of the poor animals is being forced on human society, and therefore there is always strain of cold or hot war between men, individually, collectively or nationally. ~ A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Nonviolent quotes by A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
It was clear to me that if we allowed the Freedom Ride to stop at that point, just after so much violence had been inflicted, the message would have been sent that all you have to do to stop a nonviolent campaign is inflict massive violence, ~ Diane Nash
Nonviolent quotes by Diane Nash
Punishment also includes judgmental labeling and the withholding of privileges. ~ Marshall B. Rosenberg
Nonviolent quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
In a Giraffe institution, the head nurse job would be to serve the nurses, not to control them. Teachers are there to serve the students, not control them. ~ Marshall B. Rosenberg
Nonviolent quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
Occupy has to continue as a bold, in-your-face movement - occupying banks, corporate headquarters, board meetings, campuses and Wall Street itself. We need weekly - if not daily - nonviolent assaults right on Wall Street. ~ Michael Moore
Nonviolent quotes by Michael Moore
In nonviolent communication, no matter what words others may use to express themselves, we simply listen for their observations, feelings, needs, and requests. Then we may wish to reflect back, paraphrasing what we have understood. We stay with empathy, allowing others the opportunity to fully express themselves before we turn our attention to solutions or requests for relief. ~ Marshall B. Rosenberg
Nonviolent quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
If there is real non-violence in us, there can be no war in the world. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Nonviolent quotes by Abhijit Naskar
Be nonviolent only with those who are nonviolent to you. And when you can bring me a nonviolent racist, bring me a nonviolent segregationist, then I'll get nonviolent. But don't teach me to be nonviolent until you teach some of those crackers to be nonviolent. ~ Malcolm X
Nonviolent quotes by Malcolm X
But before Christianity was a rich and powerful religion, before it was associated with buildings, budgets, crusades, colonialism, or televangelism, it began as a revolutionary nonviolent movement promoting a new kind of aliveness on the margins of society. ~ Brian D. McLaren
Nonviolent quotes by Brian D. McLaren
You cannot win a war if you cannot talk honestly about the enemy Since the 9/11 attacks, political correctness and ideological prejudice - under both Republican and Democratic presidents - have distorted our analysis of the enemy, preventing us from drawing an effective plan to defeat the likes of Al Qaeda and the Islamic State. The Obama administration, blinded by its own preconceived ideas of why terrorism occurs, is influenced by malevolent actors who have an interest in censoring any talk of the religious aspects of the enemy's ideology. At the highest level of the U.S. government, terrorism is deemed to be the result of poverty, unemployment, and lack of political enfranchisement. This fallacy must be jettisoned. We are not at war with Islam. The people most immanently in danger, in fact, are the nonviolent and non-extremist Muslims of the Middle East, such as our allies in Jordan and the modern Muslims of Egypt and the United Arab Emirates. They are on the most important front of this war, and they understand just how much religion truly matters. We do a great disservice to those brave Muslims when we try to convince the world that the threat will disappear if enough people have good jobs and sound educations. ~ Sebastian Gorka
Nonviolent quotes by Sebastian Gorka
As we learn to speak from the heart we are changing the habits of a lifetime. ~ Marshall B. Rosenberg
Nonviolent quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
In effect, terrorists now have the power to ignite war. They almost have their finger on the nuclear button. They almost have the status of heads of state. And that has enhanced the effectiveness and romance of terrorism.
The US government's response to September 11 has actually privileged terrorism. It has given it a huge impetus, and made it look like terrorism is the only effective way to be heard. Over the years, every kind of nonviolent resistance movement has been crushed, ignored, kicked aside. But if you're a terrorist, you have a great chance of being negotiated with, of being on TV, of getting all the attention you couldn't have dreamt of earlier. ~ Arundhati Roy
Nonviolent quotes by Arundhati Roy
What all the basic religions are saying is this: Don't do anything that isn't play. ~ Marshall B. Rosenberg
Nonviolent quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
Public education for some time has been heavily focused on what curricula we believe will be helpful to students. Life-Enriching Education is based on the premise that the relationship between teachers and students, the relationships of students with one another, and the relationships of students to what they are learning are equally important in preparing students for the future. ~ Marshall B. Rosenberg
Nonviolent quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
Nonviolent actions are by their nature androgynous. In them the two impulses that have long been treated as distinct, 'masculine' and 'feminine,' the impulse of self-assertion and the impulse of sympathy, are clearly joined; the very genius of nonviolence, in fact, is that it demonstrates them to be indivisible, and so restores human community ... ~ Barbara Deming
Nonviolent quotes by Barbara Deming
Then Sister Aquinata abandoned the nonviolent methods and produced a rolling pin from somewhere. ~ Mary Robinette Kowal
Nonviolent quotes by Mary Robinette Kowal
I ran because I became convinced after King was shot and killed, and Martin Luther King was one of the great heroes of my life, that politics is not perfect but it's the best available nonviolent means of changing how we live. If we don't like how we live, we can participate in the perfect most revolutionary act in a democracy, it's called voting. ~ Maynard Jackson
Nonviolent quotes by Maynard Jackson
Use anger as a wake-up call to unmet needs. ~ Marshall B. Rosenberg
Nonviolent quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
Civil disobedience has almost always been about expression. Generally, it's nonviolent, as defined by Henry David Thoreau, Gandhi, and King. ~ Marvin Ammori
Nonviolent quotes by Marvin Ammori
It's never a good thing to see a government agency talk in secret about the need to 'control protestors' - especially when that agency is charged with protecting the homeland against terrorists, not nonviolent demonstrators exercising their First Amendment rights to peaceable dissent. ~ Michael Hastings
Nonviolent quotes by Michael Hastings
A nonviolent person's life is always at the disposal of him who would take it. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolent quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
A boy carries out suggestions more wholeheartedly when he understands their aim. ~ Robert Baden-Powell
Nonviolent quotes by Robert Baden-Powell
Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half-truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nonviolent quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
The fact that police are legally allowed to engage in a wholesale roundup of nonviolent drug offenders does not answer the question why they would choose to do so, particularly when most police departments have far more serious crimes to prevent and solve. Why would police prioritize drug-law enforcement? ~ Michelle Alexander
Nonviolent quotes by Michelle Alexander
I never wonder to see men wicked, but I often wonder to see them not ashamed. ~ Jonathan Swift
Nonviolent quotes by Jonathan Swift
Dr. Rosenberg has brought the simplicity of successful communication into the foreground. No matter what issue you're facing, his strategies for communicating with others will set you up to win every time. ~ Tony Robbins
Nonviolent quotes by Tony Robbins
Never hear what a jackal-speaking person thinks, especially what they think about you. ~ Marshall B. Rosenberg
Nonviolent quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
nonviolent action succeeds twice as often as violent means, in a third of the amount of time, and with a fraction of the casualties. ~ Rivera Sun
Nonviolent quotes by Rivera Sun
It's hard for anyone intelligent to be nonviolent. Everything in the universe does something when you start playing with his life, except the American Negro. He lays down and says, 'Beat me, daddy.' ~ Malcolm X
Nonviolent quotes by Malcolm X
Demonstrations must be dignified and nonviolent, as the overwhelming protests in Ferguson and Staten Island have been. Do not confuse anarchists who don't want the system to work and thugs who want to exploit a situation with the majority who from day one have operated with impeccable nonviolence and clear goals. ~ Al Sharpton
Nonviolent quotes by Al Sharpton
I became a vegetarian out of compassion for animals and to live as healthy as possible. I realized soon after that I was truly concerned with nonviolent consumption and my own health, a vegan diet was the best decision. ~ Davey Havok
Nonviolent quotes by Davey Havok
Heavy repression against the nonviolent defenders may also arouse stronger international opposition to the coup and mobilize inernational opinion and diplomatic and economic action against the putschists ~ Gene Sharp
Nonviolent quotes by Gene Sharp
the black church helped African Americans survive the harshest forms of oppression and developed a revolutionary appeal for universal communal spirituality. The black church didn't just theorize about democracy, it practiced democracy. From its roots there flowered the civil rights movement - creative, inclusive, and nonviolent. ~ U.S. Department Of State
Nonviolent quotes by U.S. Department Of State
You can have no influence over those for whom you have underlying contempt. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nonviolent quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
The principal factors which influenced my life are 1) nonviolent tactics; 2) constitutional means; 3) democratic procedures; 4) respect for human personality; 5) a belief that all people are one. ~ Bayard Rustin
Nonviolent quotes by Bayard Rustin
Whether I praise or criticize someone's action, I imply that I am their judge, that I'm engaged in rating them or what they have done. ~ Marshall B. Rosenberg
Nonviolent quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
Nonviolent tactics can move into action on our behalf men not naturally inclined to act for us. ~ Barbara Deming
Nonviolent quotes by Barbara Deming
In the 1960s Martin Luther King Jr. devised a creative strategy of engagement that has since been adapted to many causes. He fused together the power of love as described in the Sermon on the Mount and Mahatma Gandhi's method of nonviolent resistance. "Prior to reading Gandhi," he said, "I had about concluded that the ethics of Jesus were only effective in individual relationships." Gandhi showed him that a movement on behalf of a moral cause could be expressed in a loving way. "I came to feel that this was the only morally and practically sound method open to oppressed people in their struggle for freedom. ~ Philip Yancey
Nonviolent quotes by Philip Yancey
We do have a grand strategy," says Zeese, who was the spokesman for Ralph Nader's 2004 presidential campaign. "Nonviolent movements shift power by attacking the columns that hold the power structure in place. Those columns are the military, police, media, business, workers, youth, faith groups, NGOs, and civil servants. Every time we deal with the police, we have that in mind. The goal is not to hit them, hit them, hit them, and weaken them. The goal is to pull people from those columns to our side. We want the police to know that we understand they're not the 1 percent. The goal is not to get every police officer, but to get enough police so that you have a division. ~ Chris Hedges
Nonviolent quotes by Chris Hedges
In the nonviolent army, there is room for everyone who wants to join up. There is no color distinction. There is no examination, no pledge, except that, as a soldier in the armies of violence is expected to inspect his carbine and keep it clean, nonviolent soldiers are called upon to examine and burnish their greatest weapons -- their heart, their conscience, their courage, and their sense of justice. ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
Nonviolent quotes by Martin Luther King Jr.
Our crisis is a birth. We are one living system and we have come to the limit of one phase of natural growth on a finite planet We must learn ethical evolution quickly As we seek to facilitate a gentle birth, a graceful and nonviolent transition to the next stage of our evolution, we will discover a natural pattern, a design of our birth transition, and develop a plan to cooperate with this design. ~ Barbara Marx Hubbard
Nonviolent quotes by Barbara Marx Hubbard
Every message, regardless of form or content, is an expression of a need. ~ Marshall B. Rosenberg
Nonviolent quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
Compassion stands on the pillars of trust, love, awareness and detachment. ~ Amit Ray
Nonviolent quotes by Amit Ray
We have come a long way in America because of Martin Luther King, Jr. He led a disciplined, nonviolent revolution under the rule of law, a revolution of values, a revolution of ideas. We've come a long way, but we still have a distance to go before all of our citizens embrace the idea of a truly interracial democracy, what I like to call the Beloved Community, a nation at peace with itself. ~ John Lewis
Nonviolent quotes by John Lewis
Any decent society has to be built on trust and love and the intelligent use of information and feelings. Education involves being able to practice those things as you struggle to build a decent society that can be nonviolent. ~ Myles Horton
Nonviolent quotes by Myles Horton
The desire for a nonviolent and cooperative world is the healthiest of all psychological manifestations. This is the overarching principle of liberation and revolution. Undoubtedly, it seems the highest order of contradiction that, in order to achieve nonviolence, we must first break with it in overcoming its root causes. Therein lies our only hope. ~ Ward Churchill
Nonviolent quotes by Ward Churchill
Some 8,000 nonviolent Occupy protesters were arrested across the nation. Not one banker or investor went to jail for causing the 2008 financial meltdown. The disparity of justice mirrored the disparity in incomes and the disparity in power. ~ Chris Hedges
Nonviolent quotes by Chris Hedges
When you are in a jackal environment, never give them the power to submit or rebel. We want to teach this to children very early: Never lose track that you are always free to choose. Don't allow institutions to determine what you do. ~ Marshall B. Rosenberg
Nonviolent quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
Our nonviolent tactics are not as effective. We ask nicely for years and get nothing. Someone makes a threat, and it works. ~ Ingrid Newkirk
Nonviolent quotes by Ingrid Newkirk
Marshall Rosenberg provides us with the most effective tools to foster health and relationships. Nonviolent Communication connects soul to soul, creating a lot of healing. It is the missing element in what we do. ~ Deepak Chopra
Nonviolent quotes by Deepak Chopra
The extraordinary language of Nonviolent Communication is changing how parents relate to children, teachers to students, and how we all related to each other and even to ourselves. It is precise, disciplined, and enormously compassionate. Most important, once we study NVC we can't ignore the potential for transformation that lies in any difficult relationship - if we only bother to communicate with skill and empathy. ~ Bernie Glassman
Nonviolent quotes by Bernie Glassman
We cannot incarcerate ourselves out of addiction. Addiction is a medical crisis that - when it comes to nonviolent offenders - warrants medical interventions, not incarceration. Decades later, data unequivocally illustrates that this war has been a massive failure. It has not only failed to reduce violent crime, but arrest rates - throughout its tenure - have continuously ascended even when crime rates have descended. ~ Dominique DuBois Gilliard
Nonviolent quotes by Dominique DuBois Gilliard
I rejected the armed struggle because, as a Christian, I am committed to a nonviolent and peaceful struggle. But people take their own initiatives, because it is a Lebanon type of situation here. ~ Mangosuthu Buthelezi
Nonviolent quotes by Mangosuthu Buthelezi
Usually a person relates to another under the tacit assumption thatthe other shares his view of reality, that indeed there is only onereality ... ~ Paul Watzlawick
Nonviolent quotes by Paul Watzlawick
