“ Peace through non violence is neither absurd nor unattainable. All other methods have failed. Thus we must begin anew. Non violence is a good starting point. Those of us who believe in this method can be voices of reason, sanity and understanding amid the voices of violence, hatred and emotion. We can very well set a mood of peace out of which a system of peace can be built.” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
“The survival of democracy depends on the renunciation of violence and the development of non violent means to combat evil and advance the good.” A.J. Muste
“I believe that it is impossible to end hatred with hatred.”
-Mahatma Gandhi
“Stability and peace in our land will not come from the barrel of a gun, because peace without justice is an impossibility.”
-Desmond Tutu
“There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.”
-A.J. Muste
“I am not an American who believes that it is unpatriotic to blindly follow our Congress and President.
I am an American who believes in questioning our leaders, particularly when lives are at stake.
To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
-Teddy Roosevelt 1918
