The students I've been with these twenty years are looking for a world where it becomes a little easier to love and a lot harder to hate, where learning nonviolence means that we dedicate our hearts, minds, time, and money to a commitment that the force of love, the force of truth, the force of justice, and the force of organized resistance to corrupt power are seen as sane and the force of fists, guns, armies, and bombs insane.

The failure of love, that's what all laws are really.

The most revolutionary thing anybody can do is to raise good, honest and generous children who will question the answers of people who say the answer is violence. That's what the schools should be doing.

Forty-one rules aren't so many - St. Benedict had 73 to keep the brethren on the straight and narrow.

I'd rather teach peace.

It's better to build a peaceful child than re-build a violent adult.

Breaking America's oil addiction would not lead to a future of sackcloth and ashes.
