Nonviolence chooses love instead of hate. Nonviolent love is spontaneous, unselfish, and creative and can reconcile the community division. Peace Pilgrim's work is a testament to the principle of loving instead of hating.

Nonviolence holds that voluntary suffering can educate and transform. Nonviolent protesters willingly accept suffering without retaliation. African American sit-ins during the Civil Rights Movement demonstrated this principle.

Nonviolence believes that the universe is on the side of justice. The principle embodies a faith that justice will eventually win. Nelson Mandela's fight against apartheid and his faith in justice demonstrates this principle.

Nonviolence means acceptance of all. It embraces diversity and rejects discrimination. The Women's Suffrage Movement, which fought for women's rights without violence, is an example of this principle.

Nonviolence believes in the power of persistence in striving for peace. This principle is about continuing effort despite seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The persistent dedication of Malala Yousafzai for girls' education illustrates this principle.

Nonviolence seeks to win friendship and understanding. Its goal is to create a community where all can belong. The Civil Rights Movement, particularly the work of Martin Luther King Jr., emphasized this principle.

Nonviolence involves acts of kindness and respect for all living beings. It is not passive but requires active engagement in promoting peace. The stance of Cesar Chavez in the Farm Workers Movement is an example of respect towards life.

Nonviolence is a way of life for courageous people. It is active nonviolent resistance to evil. Historically, one of the strong examples is the Indian independence movement led by Mahatma Gandhi.

Nonviolence seeks to defeat injustice, not people. Nonviolence recognizes that evildoers are also victims and does not seek to humiliate the opponent but to call forth the good in them. An example is the reconciliation efforts in post-apartheid South Africa.
