What subsists to-day by violence continues to-morrow by acquiescence and is perpetuated by tradition; till at last the hoary abuse shakes the gray hairs of antiquity at us, and gives it-self out as the wisdom of ages.

What subsists to-day by violence continues to-morrow by acquiescence and is perpetuated by tradition; till at last the hoary abuse shakes the gray hairs of antiquity at us, and gives it-self out as the wisdom of ages.

More From Edward Everett

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
This day was yesterday to-morrow nam'd: to-morrow shall be yesterday proclaimed: to-morrow not yet come, not far away, what shall to-morrow then be call'd? to-day.
Yesterday Tomorrow Far Away
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, creeps in this petty pace from day to day, to the last syllable of recorded time; and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. out, out, brief candle! life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more. it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

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.

Antiquity! thou wondrous charm, what art thou? that being nothing art everything? when thou wert, thou wert not antiquity - then thou wert nothing, but hadst a remoter antiquity, as thou calledst it, to look back to with blind veneration; thou thyself being to thyself flat, jejune, modern! what mystery lurks in this retroversion? or what half januses are we, that cannot look forward with the same idolatry with which we for ever revert! the mighty future is as nothing, being everything! the past is everything, being nothing!
Art Past Looks
All violence is injustice. responding to violence with violence is injustice, not only to the other person but also to oneself. responding to violence with violence resolves nothing; it only escalates violence, anger and hatred. it is only with compassion that we can embrace and disintegrate violence. this is true in relationships between individuals as well as in relationships between nations.
