Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.

Without forgiveness life is governed by... an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation.

As one whose husband and mother-in-law have died the victims of murder and assassination, I stand firmly and unequivocally opposed to the death penalty for those convicted of capital offenses... An evil deed is not redeemed by an evil deed of retaliation.

Revenge and retaliation always perpetuate the cycle of anger, fear and violence.

Retaliation is related to nature and instinct not to law. Law by definition cannot obey the same rules as nature.
