The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it.

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.

Violence isn't always evil. What's evil is the infatuation with violence.

It is an important thing to diagnose the evil, but unless the malady be recognised it is idle to attempt to seek the remedy.

We must never become bitter nor should we succumb to the temptation of using violence in the struggle, for if this happens, unborn generations will be the recipients of a long and desolate night of bitterness and our chief legacy to the future will be an endless reign of meaningless chaos.

There is only one way to put an end to evil, and that is to do good for evil.
