Ponder Ghandi for a Moment...

--Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress.
--I cannot teach you violence, as I do not myself believe in it. I can only teach you not to bow your heads before any one even at the cost of your life.
--I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.
--You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.
--Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary.
