Mahatma GandhiThe strength to kill is not essential for self-defense; one ought to have the strength to die. When a man is fully ready to die, he will not even desire to offer violence.

And history is replete with instances of men who by dying with courage and compassion on their lips converted the hearts of their violent opponents.
