“ My creed for nonviolence is an extremely active force. It has no room for
cowardice or even weakness. When a man is fully ready to die he will not even
desire to offer violence. History is replete with instances where, by dying with
courage and compassion on their lips, men converted the hearts o f their violent
opponents."
—Gandhi

"One day someone should remind us that, even though there may be political
and ideological differences between us, the Vietnamese are our brothers, the
Russians are our brothers, the Chinese are our brothers; and one day we've got
to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. . . . And when we truly believe
in the sacredness of human personality, we w on't exploit people, we w on't
trample over people with the iron fist of oppression, we w on't kill anybody."
