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.

We must do everything in our power to cease the behaviour that makes children everywhere feel afraid.

We've got to look to our educational programs and focus on doing what we can to stem violence in the schools.

We should aim for our children to be good people, and to live ethical lives that manifest concern for others as well as for themselves.

If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.

I think we have a moral obligation to our children that can be easily summarized: number one, protect them from harm.

We shouldn't any of us be afraid of teaching protective measures to save lives.

We have an epidemic of gun violence in America, and in trying to understand how that has happened, part of what we need to do is help equip our children to respond not with fear but with kindness. This has to be the way we go forward.

I wish the children could be taught early on that our thinking creates our experience.
