Non-violence which is a quality of the heart, cannot come by an appeal to the brain.

Non-violence, which is the quality of the heart, cannot come by an appeal to the brain.

Non-violence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed.

Force, violence, pressure, or compulsion with a view to conformity, are both uncivilized and undemocratic

However much I may sympathise with and admire worthy motives, I am an uncompromising opponent of violent methods even to serve the noblest of causes.

Nonviolence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being.
