Nonviolence

Sites Dedicated to the Nonviolence of the Brave

Howdy! This is my page dedicated to links and information on living a nonviolent way of life, its philosophy, major historical figures, and benefits. Enjoy. :-)

M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence - ..."to promote and apply the principles of nonviolence locally, nationally, and globally, to prevent violence and resolve personal and public conflicts through research, education, and programming."

"There will be no justice, no peace, no relief for the poor, no restoration of the ecology until we stop killing one another."
--Philip Berrigan, An Apology of Sorts

The King Center - Web site dedicated to preserving the efforts of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Includes video of Dr. King explaining "Nonviolence: A Way of Life" and the "6 Principles and 6 Steps of Nonviolence."

"The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you murder the hater, but you do not murder hate.... Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that."
--Martin Luther King, Jr.

Center for the advancement of Nonviolence - established in 2000 as an independent 501(c)(3) to manifest the expanded vision of its originating organization, A Season for Nonviolence - Los Angeles (SNV-LA).

"Peace is not an absence of war. It is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, trust, and justice."
--Spinoza

"Since war is born in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that we have to erect the ramparts of peace."
