More From Mahatma Gandhi

Non-violence and cowardice are contradictory terms. non-violence is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice. non-violence springs from love, cowardice from hate. non-violence always suffers, cowardice would always inflict suffering. perfect non-violence is the highest bravery. non-violent conduct is never demoralising; cowardice always is.

I believe that a man is the strongest soldier for daring to die unarmed.

We must realize that violence is not confined to physical violence. fear is violence, caste discrimination is violence, exploitation of others, however subtle, is violence, segregation is violence, thinking ill of others and condemning others are violence. in order to reduce individual acts of physical violence, we must work to eliminate violence at all levels, mental, verbal, personal, and social, including violence to animals, plants, and all other forms of life.

In my humble opinion, non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good. but in the past, non-cooperation has been deliberately expressed in violence to the evildoer. i am endeavoring to show my countrymen that violent non-cooperation only multiplies evil and that evil can only be sustained by violence. withdrawal of support of evil requires complete abstention from violence. non-violence implies voluntary submission to the penalty for non-cooperation with evil.

Joblessness is a weapon of mass destruction. poverty is a weapon of mass destruction. hunger is a weapon of mass destruction. poor health care is a weapon of mass destruction. poor education is a weapon of mass destruction. discrimination is a weapon of mass destruction. let us abolish such weapons of mass destruction here at home.

The science of war leads one to dictatorship, pure and simple. the science of non-violence alone can lead one to pure democracy. power based on love is thousand times more effective and permanent than power derived from fear of punishment. it is a blasphemy to say non-violence can be practiced only by individuals and never by nations which are composed of individuals. the nearest approach to purest anarchy would be a democracy based on non-violence. a society organized and run on the basis of complete non-violence would be the purest anarchy.
