- Leo Tolstoy

The first essential characteristics of nonviolent action is that it is creative.

- Hildegarde Goss-Mayr

Let all bear in mind that a society is judged not so much by the standards attained by its more affluent and privileged members as by the quality of life which it is able to assure for its weakest members.

- H.E. Javier Perez de Cuellar

Beneath the rule of men entirely great, the pen is mightier than the sword.

- Edward George Bulwer-Lytton

He took over anger to intimidate subordinates, and in time anger took over him.

- Milan Kundera

The point of nonviolence is to build...a strong new floor, beneath which we can no longer sink...a few feet above napalm, torture, exploitation, poison gas, A and H bombs, the works. Give man a decent place to stand.

- Joan Baez

Nonviolence which is a quality of the heart, cannot come by an appeal to the brain.

- Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

Many oppressors are also oppressed. Nonviolent confrontation is the only confrontation that allows us to respond realistically to such complexity.

- Jane Meyerding

Men are so accustomed to maintaining external order by violence that they cannot conceive of life being possible without violence.

- Leo Tolstoy

Compromise does not mean cowardice.

- John F. Kennedy

It is reasonable that every one who asks justice should do justice.

- Thomas Jefferson

The miracle of the wicked is reinforced by the weakness of the virtuous.

- Winston Churchill

When we treat man as he is, we make him worse than he is; when we treat him as if he already were what he potentially could be, we make him what he should be.

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of humans as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is not safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

- Helen Keller

If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
