Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

We may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep nonviolence as our goal and make strong progress towards it.
Mohandas Gandhi

Nonviolence is really tough. You don't practice nonviolence at conferences; you practice it on picket-lines.
Cesar Chavez

Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it. It is a sword that heals.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Desmond Tutu

Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.
Mother Teresa

Without forgiveness, there's no future.
Desmond Tutu

"Nonviolence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind... It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man."
Mohandas Gandhi
