"If you resort to violent methods because..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“Ultimately, the human being is in the mercy of nature.”

“Education is the best way to train ourselves that we will secure our own well-being by concerning ourselves with others. It is possible to create a better world, a more compassionate, more peaceful world, which is not only in everyone’s interest, but is everyone’s responsibility to achieve.”

“We can benefit others through our actions by being warm and generous toward them, by being charitable, and by helping those in need.”

“In the world today, only a philosophy of eternity could justify non-violence.”

“Weapons are ominous tools. They are not the noble ruler's tools. He only uses them when he can't avoid it.”

“We don't need to respond with desperate violence.”

“People respond in accordance to how you relate to them. If you approach them on the basis of violence, that's how they'll react. But if you say, 'We want peace, we want stability,' we can then do a lot of things that will contribute towards the progress of our society.”

“Cow-slaughter and man-slaughter are in my opinion two sides of the same coin.”

“A man strikes you, make him bleed. He makes you bleed, you break his bones. He breaks your bones, kill him. Being hit is inevitable, strike back twice as hard.”
