Ahimsa is disciplined behaviour towards every living being
- Dashavaikalika Sutra (6/9) Good is all that serves life; evil is all that serves death. Good is reverence for life, all that enhances life growth, unfolding. Evil is all that stifles, narrows it down, and cuts it into pieces.
- Erich Fromm Absence of violence of any sort towards all beings at all times is Ahimsa.
- Yogasutra of Patanjali By its very nature, hate destroys and tears down; by its very nature, love creates and builds up. Love transforms with redemptive power.
— Martin Luther King Jr.
