~ Oppression that is clearly inexorable and invincible does not give rise to revolt but to submission. ~
~ You cannot raise the standard against oppression, or leap into the breach to relieve injustice, and still keep an open mind to every disconcerting fact, or an open ear to the cold voice of doubt. ~
~ An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger. ~
~ Oppression is more easily borne than insult. ~
~ Oppression is but another name for irresponsible power, if history is to be trusted. ~
~ Resistance to oppression is second nature. ~
~ Everybody knows there is no fineness or accuracy of suppression; if you hold down one thing, you hold down the adjoining. ~
~ The worst government is the most moral. One composed of cynics is often very tolerant and humane. But when fanatics are on top there is no limit to oppression. ~
~ Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. ~
~ Without Liberty, Law loses its nature and its name, and becomes oppression. Without Law, Liberty also loses its nature and its name, and becomes licentiousness. ~
~ Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. ~
~ People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles. ~
~ Fear of serious injury alone cannot justify oppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burnt women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears. ~
