"If our country, when pressed with wrongs..." - Quote by Thomas Jefferson

“Who then can so softly bind up the wound of another as he who has felt the same wound himself.”

“It is unfortunate that the efforts of mankind to recover the freedom of which they have been so long deprived, will be accompanied with violence, with errors, and even with crimes. But while we weep over the means, we must pray for the end.”

“The people, especially when moderately instructed, are the only safe, because the only honest, depositaries of the public rights, and should therefore be introduced into the administration of them in every function to which they are sufficient; they will err sometimes and accidentally, but never designedly, and with a systematic and persevering purpose of overthrowing the free principles of the government.”

“To die without killing is the badge of a satyagrahi.”

“You are resisting, but you've come to see that tactically as well as morally, it is better to be nonviolent.If one would, didn't want to deal with the moral questions, it would just be impractical for the Negro to talk about making his struggle a violent one.”

“But you can wake a man only if he is really asleep. No effort that you make will produce any effect upon him if he is merely pretending sleep.”

“It takes a revolution, to create a solution”

“Every generation needs a new revolution.”

“Every revolution was first a thought in one man's mind.”
