Social justice cannot be attained by violence. Violence kills what it intends to create.

Nothing good ever comes of violence.

Our first responsibility in the midst of violence is to prevent it from destroying us.

Violence and arms can never resolve the problems of men.

Our most important task is to transform our consciousness so that violence is no longer an option for us in our personal lives, that understanding that a world of peace is possible only if we relate to each other as peaceful beings, one individual at a time.

Christian nonviolence must be embodied in a community that is an alternative to the world's violence.

On some campuses, change is effected through nonviolent or even violent means.

To think ill of mankind and not wish ill to them, is perhaps the highest wisdom and virtue.

Quite frankly, Russian aggression in Ukraine and its illegal occupation of Crimea remind us that we still have a good deal more work to do to guarantee the strategic vision of a Europe whole, free and at peace.

Whatever we are battling, internally or externally, the table is right there in the middle of the trouble, at the epicenter of conflict.

A quarrel is quickly settled when deserted by one party there is no battle unless there be two.
