VIOLENCE Quotes
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral; returning violence with violence only multiplies voilence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
Martin Luther King Jr
If Buddhism preaches nonviolence,why is there so much political violence in Sri Lanka today?
Stanley Jeyaraja Tambiah
If we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people to not kill each other? Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want.
Mother Teresa
Poverty is the worst form of violence.
Mahatma Gandhi
How a society channels male aggression is one of the greatest questions as to whether that society will survive. That's why I am not against violence in the media, I am against the glorification of immoral violence
Dennis Prager
All violence is the result of people tricking themselves into believing that their pain derives from other people and that consequently those people deserve to be punished.

Linda Gordon
An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.
Mohandas K. Gandhi
Over the last decade or so 'wars' have been proclaimed, in turn, on teen pregnancy, dropping out, drugs, and most recently violence. The trouble with such campaigns, though, is that they come too late, after the targeted problem has reached epidemic proportions and taken firm root in the lives of the young. They are crisis intervention, the equivalent of solving a problem by sending an ambulance to the rescue rather than giving an inoculation that would ward off the disease in the first place. Instead of more such 'wars,' what we need is to follow the logic of prevention, offering our children the skills for facing life that will increase their chances of avoiding any and all of these fates
Daniel Goldman
A majority of Americans oppose partial-birth abortion, and Judge Hamilton's decision flies in the face of Congress passing and President Bush signing legislation banning such horrible acts of violence.
Marc Racicot
The violence done us by others is often less painful than that which we do to ourselves
FranÃois de la Rochefoucauld
It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.
Mahatma Gandhi
One must do violence to the object of one's desire; when it surrenders, the pleasure is greater.
Marquis de Sade
Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary.
Mahatma Gandhi
