The human mind likes a strange idea as little as the body likes a strange protein and resists it with a similar energy.
- W.H. Beveridge
In separateness lies the world's great misery; in compassion lies the world's true strength.
- Siddhartha Gautama
Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages.
- Thomas Edison
The besetting sin of most clever people is that it is much easier to say clever things than true ones.
- Kenneth Boulding
The law, in its majestic equality, forbids both rich and poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.
- Anatole France
If we divide reality into two camps the violent and the nonviolent and stand in one camp while attacking the other, the world will never have peace.
- Thich Nhat Hanh
The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.
- Bertrand Russell
While seeking revenge, dig two graves -- one for yourself.
- Doug Horton
In the case of highly complex realities...ignorance, if not bliss, is at least cheap.
- Kenneth Boulding
Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind.
- John F. Kennedy
A solid rock is not disturbed by the wind; even so, a wise person is not agitated by praise or blame.
- Dhammapada
You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.
- Albert Einstein
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
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
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.
