“This is the unusual thing about nonviolence -- nobody is defeated, everybody shares in the victory.”
“In the cycle of nature there is no such thing as victory or defeat; there is only movement.”
“Find a victory in every defeat to remain hopeful and find a defeat in every victory to remain humble.”
“[Nonviolence] is directed against forces of evil rather than against persons who happen to be doing the evil. It is evil that the nonviolent resister seeks to defeat, not the persons victimized by evil.”
“Victory breeds hatred. The defeated live in pain. Happily the peaceful live,giving up victory and defeat.”
“Why can’t somebody give us a list of things everybody thinks and nobody says, and another list of the things that everybody says but nobody thinks?”
