A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
非暴力
Nonviolence
I have come into this world to see this: the sword drop from men's hands even at the height of their arc of rage because we have finally realized there is just one flesh we can wound.
我到世上来,是要看这事。 剑从人们手中落下 即使在高峰时期 的弧 愤怒 因为我们终于意识到 只有一个肉体 我们可以伤口。
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.
如果我们只关心和平,就不可能有和平。战争不是偶然的。它是某种生活方式的逻辑结果。如果我们想攻击战争,我们就必须攻击那种生活方式。
An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.
一个人如果违反了良心告诉他是不公正的法律,并且心甘情愿地接受监禁的惩罚,以唤起社会对其不公正的良心,那么他实际上是在表达对法律的最高尊重。
