The past is prophetic in that it asserts loudly that wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.
From Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon, which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it. It is a sword that heals.
The art of acceptance is the art of making someone who has just done you a small favor wish that he might have done you a greater one.
Means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek.
Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. I am not unmindful of the fact that violence often brings about momentary results. Nations have frequently won their independence in battle. But in spite of temporary victories, violence never brings permanent peace.
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.
Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'
Law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress.
A right delayed is a right denied.
The quality, not the longevity, of one's life is what is important.
