"The lessons of nonviolence are universal. Not..." - Quote by John Lewis

“I believe that teachers - whether in elementary schools, at the secondary level, or at colleges and universities - every teacher deserves the Nobel Peace Prize just for maintaining order in our schools!”

“It is my hope that people today will see that, in another time, in another period, when we saw the need for people to speak up, to organize, to mobilize, and to do something about injustice, we came together.”

“We built a coalition of conscience, and that we can do it again, and we can go forward, and help redeem the soul of America.”

“It is no non-violence if we merely love those that love us. It is non-violence only when we love those that hate us.”

“My optimism rests on my belief in the infinite possibilities of the individual to develop nonviolence. . . . In a gentle way you can shake the world.”

“A society or a nation constructed nonviolently must be able to withstand attack upon its structure from without or within.”

“Cultivate virtue in the world, and it will be universal.”

“Nonviolence is a universal principle and its operation is not limited by a hostile environment.”

“Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little about everything.”
