More From Ron Paul

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.
Courage Hate Spring
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.
Fear Thinking Animal
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.
Humble Past Evil
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.
Running War Simple
I must remind you that starving a child is violence. suppressing a culture is violence. neglecting school children is violence. punishing a mother and her family is violence. discrimination against a working man is violence. ghetto housing is violence. ignoring medical need is violence. contempt for poverty is violence.

Every time a crime was committed by a muslim, that person's faith was mentioned, regardless of its relevance. when a crime is committed by a christian, do they mention his religion? ... when a crime is committed by a black man, it's mentioned in the first breath: 'an african american man was arrested today...' but what about german americans? anglo americans? a white man robs a convenience store and do we hear he's of scottish descent? in no other instance is the ancestry mentioned.

Feasts and business and pleasure and enjoyments seem great things to us, whilst we think of nothing else; but as soon as we add death to them they all sink into an equal littleness.
Christian Religious Thinking
Republics demanded virtue. monarchies could rely on coercion and "dazzling splendor" to suppress self-interest or factions; republics relied on the goodness of the people to put aside private interest for public good. the imperatives of virtue attached all sorts of desiderata to the republican citizen: simplicity, frugality, sobriety, simple manners, christian benevolence, duty to the polity. republics called on other virtues--spiritedness, courage--to protect the polity from external threats. tyrants kept standing armies; republics relied on free yeomen, defending their own land.

Belief in some one's right to punish you is the fate of all children in judaic-christian culture. but nowhere else, perhaps, have the rich seed-beds of western homes found such a growing climate for guilt as is produced in the south by the combination of a warm moist evangelism and racial segregation.

Trust god for the impossible-miracles are his department. our job is to do our best, letting the lord do the rest.
