Nonviolence is an intensely active force when properly understood and used.
Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding. The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.
An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind.
An eye for an eye and everyone shall be blind
Satisfaction lies in the effort not the attainment. Full effort is full victory.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
