More From Nelson Mandela

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
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
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
A few really dedicated people can offset the masses of out of harmony people, so we who work for peace must not falter, we must continue to pray for peace and to act for peace in whatever way we can. we must continue to speak for peace and to live the way of peace; to inspire others, we must continue to think of peace and know that peace is possible. what we dwell upon we help bring to manifestation. one little person giving all of her time to peace makes news. many people giving some of their time can make history.
Peace Thinking People
No one may threaten or commit violence ('aggress') against another man's person or property. violence may be employed only against the man who commits such violence; that is, only defensively against the aggressive violence of another. in short, no violence may be employed against a non-aggressor. here is the fundamental rule from which can be deduced the entire corpus of libertarian theory.
Men Libertarian Violence
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.

Grandmother walked up over the bare granite and thought about birds in general. it seemed to her no other creature had the same dramatic capacity to underline and perfect events - the shifts in the seasons and the weather, the changes that run through people themselves.

More striking still, it appeared that, if the process of concentration goes on at the same rate, at the end of another century we shall have all american industry controlled by a dozen corporations and run by perhaps a hundred men. put plainly, we are steering a steady course toward economic oligarchy, if we are not there already.

I'd like to end the book a lot of ways. except i don't have any answers. use your common sense. be nice. this is the best i can do. all the trouble in the world is human trouble. well, that's not true. but when cancer cells run amok and burst out of the prostate and take over the liver and lymph glands and end up killing everything in the body including themselves, they certainly are acting like some humans we know.
