"My Faith in Nonviolence" by Mohandas R. Gandhi
Three quotes and 1 paragraph about one person

• 'Such a struggle leaves one stronger for it. Nonviolence is a weapon of the strong.'
• 'The perfect state is reached only when mind and body and speech are in proper coordination'
• 'The law of love will, just as the law of gravitation will work. 

'Such a struggle leaves one stronger for it. Nonviolence is a weapon of the strong.'
I agree that nonviolence is a weapon of the strong. somebody has to be strong enough to hold back when they are getting beat on somebody else. For example, the Civil Rights boycotts and how the Africans Americans sat in the white restaurants while the Whits poured milkshakes, smashed food, and beat on them. The African Americans had to hold back that anger and that instinct to fight back. People have to be able to contain that instinct and I think that makes a person stronger for it. They are able to turn their cheek and become the stronger and smarter person in the situation.
