The Science Of War Leads One To Dictatorship, Pure And Simple. The Science Of Non-violence Alone Can Lead One To Pure Democracy. Power Based On Love Is Thousand Times More Effective And Permanent Than Power Derived From Fear Of Punishment. It Is A Blasphemy To Say Non-violence Can Be Practiced Only By Individuals And Never By Nations Which Are Composed Of Individuals. The Nearest Approach To Purest Anarchy Would Be A Democracy Based On Non-violence. A Society Organized And Run On The Basis Of Complete Non-violence Would Be The Purest Anarchy.

As Soon As We Lose The Moral Basis, We Cease To Be Religious. There Is No Such Thing As Religion Over-riding Morality. Man, For Instance, Cannot Be Untruthful, Cruel Or Incontinent And Claim To Have God On His Side.

I Appeal For Cessation Of Hostilities, Not Because You Are Too Exhausted To Fight, But Because War Is Bad In Essence. You Want To Kill Nazism. You Will Never Kill It By Its Indifferent Adoption.
