I collect quotes. Here are a few from history's great pacifists.

“Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.”  -  Martin Luther King, Jr.

Gandhi once declared that it was his wife who unwittingly taught him the effectiveness of nonviolence. Who better than women should know that battles can be won without resorting to physical strength .   Barbara Deming

Nonviolence is a weapon of the strong” - Mahatma Gandhi

That's all nonviolence is - organized love.” -  Joan Baez

“Nonviolence doesn't always work -- but violence never does.” Anonymous

“War seems to be part of the history of humanity ... There (once) was  a relevance to violence and war. However, today we are so interdependent that the concept of war has become out dated....We must work to resolve conflicts in a spirit of reconciliation and always keep in mind the interests of others. We cannot destroy our neighbors! We cannot ignore their interests! Doing so would ultimately cause us to suffer. I therefore think that the concept of violence is now unsuitable. Nonviolence is the appropriate method.”   the Dalai Lama

A liberation movement that is nonviolent sets the oppressor free as well as the oppressed.

-- Barbara Deming

"Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming ALL other living beings, we are still savages."

"The essence of nonviolence is love. Out of love and the willingness to act selflessly, strategies, tactics, and techniques for a nonviolent struggle arise naturally. Nonviolence is not a dogma; it is a process.   Thich Nhat Hanh

At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love."

--Martin Luther King, Jr.

Nonviolence seeks to secure moral ends through moral means. -- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon. Indeed it is a weapon unique in history, which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it.-- Martin Luther King, Jr.

"In any nonviolent campaign there are four basic steps: collection of the facts to determine whether injustices exist; negotiation; self-purification; and direct action."-- Martin Luther King, Jr.
