Since there is no death, in your terms, there is no murder. We will have some long sessions dealing with this matter, but I tell you all now—no good will come of violence.

This applies to any people at any time.

I speak here because yours is the opportunity and yours is the time. Do not fall into the old ways that will lead you precisely into the world that you fear.
When every young man refuses to go to war you will have peace. As long as twenty men insist on fighting a war you will not have peace. As long as you fight for gain and greed you will not have peace. As long as one person commits violence for the sake of peace you will have war. Unfortunately, in the condition in which your world finds itself, it is extremely difficult to imagine that all the young men in all of the countries at the same time will refuse to go to war. And so you must work out the violence that violence has wrought.
Not in your physical time, but within the next hundred years, that time may come... (phrase omitted)... but when it comes, and if it comes soon it will come as a miracle.

You do not defend any idea with violence. With violence you kill an idea.
