If someone pelts you with stones, do not quarrel with him. Try rather to raise yourself to such a height that the stones cannot reach you.

For violence to erupt provocation is enough; while for peace to prevail man has to nullify provocation with moderation and restraint.

Patience is no retreat. Patience only amounts to taking the initiative along the path of wisdom and reason as opposed to the path of the emotions. Patience gives one the strength to restrain one’s emotions in delicate situations and to use one’s brain to find a course of action along result-oriented lines.

The difference between peace and violence is aptly illustrated by the building of a bird’s nest. A nest can be constructed only by a peaceful effort. Violence can only destroy it, not build it. The same is true of human life. If any constructive work is to be achieved in life, it must be through peaceful efforts.
