(Man) has now reached the day when violence toward another human being must become as abhorrent as eating another’s flesh.

Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.

A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on an installment plan.

Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality.

One who condones evils is just as guilty as the one who perpetrates it.

Everything we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see.

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

From my background, I gained my regulating Christian ideals. From Gandhi I learned my operational technique.
