To benefit by others' killing and to delude oneself into the belief that one is being very religions and nonviolent is sheer self-deception.
Mahatma GandhiAll have not the same capacity. I would allow a man of intellect to earn more, I would not cramp his talent.
Mahatma GandhiThe science of war leads one to dictatorship, pure and simple. The science of non-violence alone can lead one to pure democracy. Power based on love is thousand times more effective and permanent than power derived from fear of punishment. It is a blasphemy to say non-violence can be practiced only by individuals and never by nations which are composed of individuals. The nearest approach to purest anarchy would be a democracy based on non-violence. A society organized and run on the basis of complete non-violence would be the purest anarchy.
