Quote

Non-violence is the article of faith.

I really believe in non-violence, but I also believe in a short of resistance that has to be respectful.

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.

In some cases non-violence requires more militancy than violence.

Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being.

Non-violence and truth are inseparable and presuppose one another.

Christian nonviolence must be embodied in a community that is an alternative to the world's violence.

In my rational mind, I know... that is a very simplistic way of looking at it, but when there is violence of that kind, it challenges my faith. I still can't say that I totally understand why - why that is allowed to happen.

My religion is based on truth and non-violence. Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realising Him.

I always say that non-violence is not the weapon of the weak. It is the weapon of the strong.
