Another entry to my worship materials workbook, these quotes for on the theme of non-violence.

"That which distinguishes us from all the animals is our capacity to be nonviolent.۬And we fulfill our mission only to the extent that we are nonviolent and no more."۬ M.K. Gandi, "Nonviolence: The Greatest Force"


"Power can guarantee the interests of some, but it can never foster the good of all.۬Power always protects the good of some at the expense of all the others."
