International Day of Non-Violence, which is observed on October 2nd, also known as Gandhi Jayanti, in honor of Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday.
Nonviolence is a weapon of the strong.
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
In a gentle way, you can shake the world.
Nonviolence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our very being.
Nonviolence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.
The day the power of love overrules the love of power, the world will know peace.
Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time.
True peace is not merely the absence of war, it is the presence of justice.
Violence is a weapon of the weak; nonviolence is a weapon of the strong.
Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man but you refuse to hate him.
Hate begets hate; violence begets violence.
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the presence of justice.
Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon, which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it.
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.
Nonviolence is the key to human progress.
Nonviolence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being.
