“Complete non-violence is complete absence of ill-will against all that lives. It therefore embraces even sub-human life, not excluding noxious insects and beasts. They have not been created to feed our destructive propensities. If we only knew the mind of the Creator, we should find their proper place in His creation.”
“Nonviolence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind.”
“If my nonviolence is to be contagious and infectious, I must acquire greater control over my thoughts.”
