To make a great dream come true, the first requirement is a great capacity to dream; the second is persistence.

Together, all things are possible

Nonviolence is really tough. You don't practice nonviolence at conferences; you practice it on picket-lines.

Students must have initiative; they should not be mere imitators. They must learn to think and act for themselves - and be free.

We are suffering. We have suffered. And we are not afraid to suffer in order to win our cause.

When we are really honest with ourselves we must admit that our lives are all that really belong to us, so it is how we use our lives that determines what kind of men we are. It is my deepest belief that only by giving life do we find life, that the truest act courage, the strongest act of manliness is to sacrifice ourselves for others in a totally non-violent struggle for justice. To be a man is to suffer for others, God help us to be men.

Through Gandhi and my own life experience, I have learned about nonviolence. I believe that human life is a very special gift from God, and that no one has a right to take that away in any cause, however just. I am convinced that nonviolence is more powerful than violence.
