People have become too accustomed to the use of force. Life without violence seems impossible for them to imagine.
Two ways exist to guide human activity. One is to force a person to act against his wishes; the other is to guide a person’s wishes, to persuade him with reasoning. One is the way of violence: it is used by ignorant people, and it leads to complete disappointment. The other is supported by experience, and is always successful.
—ABRAHAM COMB
Without faith in God, you can force people to act, but you cannot convince them. You can become a tyrant, but not a teacher.
—GIUSEPPE MAZZINI
People are wise beings; they possess the ability to live according to the dictates of their intellect, and sooner or later, they will evolve from a state of violence to a state of complete harmony and understanding. And every act of violence makes this time more distant from today.
