"There
is no way to peace. Peace is the way."
Pacifism
is not a tool or instrument that you can pick up and lay down, use it today but
not use it tomorrow, use it in one relationship of life but not in other relationships
of life. It is, itself, a way of life that grows out of convictions, attitudes,
and habits, which in time become an inseparable part of the pacifist individual.
We
cannot have peace if we are only concerned with peace. War is not an accident.
It is the logical outcome of a certain way of life. If we want to attack war,
we have to attack that way of life.
The
survival of democracy depends on renunciation of violence and the development
of nonviolent means to combat evil and advance the good.
"The
problem after a war is the victor. He thinks he has just proved that war and violence
will pay. Who will now teach him a lesson?"
