The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but, it is fear.

I do believe that where there is a choice between cowardice and non-violence I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done, had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908, whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defended me, I told him that it was his duty to defend me even by using violence.

Change yourself - you are in control.

I have no secret methods. I know no diplomacy save that of truth. I have no weapon but non-violence.

Civility does not ...mean the mere outward gentleness of speech cultivated for the occasion, but an inborn gentleness and desire to do the opponent good.

I offer you peace. I offer you love. I offer you friendship. I see your beauty. I hear your need. I feel your feelings.

Further march of civilization seems to employ increasing domination of man over beast, together with a growingly humane method of using them.
