Vengeance is not the point; change is. But the trouble is that in most people's minds the thought of victory and the thought of punishing the enemy coincide.

Nonviolent tactics can move into action on our behalf men not naturally inclined to act for us.

To resort to power one need not be violent, and to speak to conscience one need not be meek.

Think first of the action that is right to take, think later about coping with one's fears.

A liberation movement that is nonviolent sets the oppressor free as well as the oppressed.

We cannot live without our lives

Punishment cannot heal spirits, can only break them.
