“Violence and racism are bad. Whenever they occur they are to be condemned and we should not turn a blind eye to them.”
Quote by -Cate Blanchett
I’m grateful for being here, for being able to think, for being able to see, for being able to taste, for appreciating love – for knowing that it exists in a world so rife with vulgarity, with brutality and violence, and yet love exists. I’m grateful to know that it exists.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love but to use violence to get what they want.
Quote by -Mother Teresa
An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.
Quote by -Mahatama Gandhi
Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat for it is momentary." (Satyagraha Leaflet No. 13, 3 May 1919)
Quote by -Mahatama Gandhi
It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.
Quote by -Mahatama Gandhi
I cannot teach you violence, as I do not myself believe in it. I can only teach you not to bow your heads before any one even at the cost of your life.
Quote by -Mahatama Gandhi
I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.
Quote by -Mahatama Gandhi
Non-violence, which is the quality of the heart, cannot come by an appeal to the brain.
Quote by -Mahatama Gandhi
The alcoholic and the drug addict harm only themselves by their behavior; the person who violates the rules of morality governing mans life in society harms not only himself, but everyone.
Quote by -Ludwig Von Mises
"It is my deepest belief that only by giving our lives do we find life. I am convinced that the truest act of courage, the strongest act of manliness is to sacrifice ourselves for others in a totally non-violent struggle for justice."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"We are convinced that non-violence is more powerful than violence. We are convinced that non-violence supports you if you have a just and moral cause...If you use violence, you have to sell part of yourself for that violence. Then you are no longer a master of your own struggle."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"...people think non-violence is really weak and non-militant. These are misconceptions that people have because they don't understand what non-violence means. Non-violence takes more guts, if I can put it bluntly, than violence. Most violent acts are accomplished by getting the opponent off guard, and it doesn't take that much character, I think, if one wants to do it."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Farm workers everywhere are angry and worried that we cannot win without violence. We have proved it before through persistence, hard work, faith and willingness to sacrifice. We can win and keep our own self-respect and build a great union that will secure the spirit of all people if we do it through a re-dedication and re-commitment to the struggle for justice through non-violence."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Non-violence is very weak in the theoretical sense; it cannot defend itself. But it is most powerful in the action situation where people are using non-violence because they want desperately to bring about some change. Non-violence in action is a very potent force and it can't be stopped. The people who are struggling have the complete say-so. No man-made law, no human ruler, no army can destroy this. There is no way it can be destroyed... And so, if we have the capacity to endure, if we have the patience, things will change."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"If they had $2.00 for food, they had to give $1.00 to the union. Otherwise, they would never get out of the trap of poverty. They would never have a union because they couldn't afford to sacrifice a little bit more on top of their misery."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"This is the beginning of a social movement in fact and not in pronouncements. We seek our basic, God - given rights as human beings...We shall do it without violence because it is our destiny. To the growers and to all who oppose us, we say the words of Benito Juarez: `Respect for another's right is the meaning of peace.'"
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"When workers fall back on violence, they are lost. Oh, they might win some of their demands and might end a strike a little earlier, but they give up their imagination, their creativity, their will to work hard and to suffer for what they believe is right."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Through Gandhi and my own life experience, I have learned about nonviolence. I believe that human life is a very special gift from God, and that no one has a right to take that away in any cause, however just. I am convinced that nonviolence is more powerful than violence."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Non-violence is a very powerful weapon. Most people don't understand the power of non-violence and tend to be amazed by the whole idea. Those who have been involved in bringing about change and see the difference between violence and non-violence are firmly committed to a lifetime of non-violence, not because it is easy or because it is cowardly, but because it is an effective and very powerful way."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"I am convinced that the truest act of courage, the strongest act of manliness, is to sacrifice ourselves for others in a totally nonviolent struggle for justice. To be a man is to suffer for others. God help us to be men!"
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Non-violence is not inaction. It is not discussion. It is not for the timid or weak... Non-violence is hard work."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Only when we have become nonviolent towards all life will we have learned to live well with others."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"There's no reason to be non-violent. There's no challenge unless you are living for people."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Nonviolence is really tough. You don't practice nonviolence at conferences; you practice it on picket-lines."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Non violence means people in action. People have to understand that with non-violence goes a hell of a lot of organization."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Non-violence exacts a very high price from one who practices it. But once you are able to meet that demand then you can do most things."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Violence just hurts those who are already hurt...Instead of exposing the brutality of the oppressor, it justifies it."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Non-violence has suffered its biggest defeat in the hands of people who most want to talk about it."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"If you win non-violently, then you have a double victory, you have not only won your fight, but you remain free."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression;for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself."
Quote by -Thomas Paine
"Personally, I don't like watching violence. I'd much rather see more skin."
Quote by -Cameron Diaz
“Every man, as long as he does not violate the laws of justice, is left perfectly free to pursue his own interest his own way, and to bring both his industry and capital into competition with those of any other man, or order of men.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“The first duty of the sovereign [is] that of protecting the society from the violence and invasion of other independent societies, [which] can be performed only by means of a military force”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“Violence does, in truth, recoil upon the violent, and the schemer falls into the pit which he digs for another.”
Quote by -Arthur Conan Doyle
“Some people's affability is more deadly than the violence of coarser souls.”
Quote by -Arthur Conan Doyle
“No violence, gentlemen — no violence, I beg of you! Consider the furniture!”
Quote by -Arthur Conan Doyle
A violent order is disorder; and a great disorder is an order. These two things are one.
Quote by -Wallace Stevens
