The tendency to cruelty should be watched in children and if they incline to any such cruelty, they should be taught the contrary usage.

Arms are instruments of ill omen.... When one is compelled to use them, it is best to do so without relish.

When victorious in war, one should observe mourning rites.

Just as one must learn the art of killing in the training for violence, so one must learn the art of dying in the training for non-violence. Violence does not mean the emancipation from fear, but discovering the means of combating the cause of fear. Nonviolence, on the other hand, has no cause for fear. The votary of nonviolence has to cultivate the capacity for sacrifice of the highest type in order to be free from fear. He recks not if he should lose his land, his wealth, his life.
