Civil Disobedience & NonViolent Action

"Nonviolent resistance ... is based on the conviction that the universe is on the side of justice.  Consequently, the believer in nonviolence has deep faith in the future.

This faith is another reason why the nonviolent resister can accept suffering without retaliation. For he knows that in his struggle for justice he has cosmic companionship."
(Martin Luther King)
