Nonviolence is an active force of the highest order. It is soul force or the power of the godhead within us.

Mahatma Gandhi

Nonviolence is an intensely active force when properly understood and used.

Nonviolence of the strong cannot be a mere policy. It must be a creed, or a passion, if 'creed' is objected to.

Mahatma Gandhi

There is nothing surprising in a Muslim or a Pathan like me subscribing to the creed of nonviolence. It is not a new creed. It was followed fourteen hundred years ago by the Prophet all the time he was in Mecca.

Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan

The nonviolence I teach is active nonviolence of the strongest. But the weakest can partake in it without becoming weaker.

Mahatma Gandhi

Nonviolence is an unchangeable creed.

Mahatma Gandhi

Veganism is about nonviolence: nonviolence to other sentient beings; nonviolence to yourself; nonviolence to the earth.

Jean Goss

Nonviolence is an unchangeable creed. It has to be pursued even in face of violence raging around you.

Mahatma Gandhi

My creed of nonviolence does not favour the punishment of thieves and dacoits and even murderers.

Mahatma Gandhi

The students I've been with these twenty years are looking for a world where it becomes a little easier to love and a lot harder to hate, where learning nonviolence means that we dedicate our hearts, minds, time, and money to a commitment that the force of love, the force of truth, the force of justice, and the force of organized resistance to corrupt power are seen as sane and the force of fists, guns, armies, and bombs insane.
