Nonviolent tactics can move into action on our behalf men not naturally inclined to act for us.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
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.
When it comes to matters of war and peace, we must not act rashly.
One of the principles of nonviolence is that you leave your opponents whole and better off than you found them.
Violence begets violence, and then you get leaders who are violent men. And you don't want that.
Violence is absolutely not our method.
Men's actions are too strong for them. Show me a man who has acted, and who has not been the victim and slave of his action.
Men seldom, or rather never for a length of time and deliberately, rebel against anything that does not deserve rebelling against.
Our officers and men behaved like men who are determined to be free.
In the name of noble purposes men have committed unspeakable acts of cruelty against one another.
