Violence is the fear to other's ideals.
Nothing once begun should be abandoned, unless it is proved to be morally wrong.
The function of violence is to obtain reform by external means, the function of passive resistance, that is, soul-force, is to obtain it by growth from within, which, in its turn, is obtained by self-suffering, self-purification.
The whole existence of man is a ceaseless duel between the forces of life and death.
The true source of rights is duty.
