The ballot is stronger than the bullet.

Like Lincoln, I would like to believe the ballot is stronger than the bullet. Then again, he said that before he got shot.

To give victory to the right, not bloody bullets, but peaceful ballots only, are necessary.

The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men.

Our votes must go together with our guns. After all, any vote we shall have, shall have been the product of the gun. The gun which produces the vote should remain its security officer - its guarantor. The people's votes and the people's guns are always inseparable twins.

All we have is our vote. But it's powerful.

Let all of us turn from bullets to ballots, from guns to shovels.

The vote is the most powerful nonviolent tool we have.
