"The limitation of riots, moral questions aside, is that they cannot win and their participants know ..." — Martin Luther King, Jr.

Since being in India, I am more convinced than ever before that the method of nonviolent resistance is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for justice and human dignity.

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.

War is a poor chisel to carve out tomorrow.

There is nothing more tragic than to find an individual bogged down in the length of life, devoid of breadth.
