More quotes by Betty Williams
"To say that on a daily basis you can make a difference, well, you can. One act of kindness a day can do it."
"I have a very hard time with this word 'non-violence,' because I don't believe that I am non-violent. ... Right now, I would love to kill George Bush. I don't know how I ever got a Nobel Peace Prize, because when I see children die, the anger in me is just beyond belief. It's our duty as human beings, whatever age we are, to become the protectors of human life."
"There is no use talking about the problem unless you talk about the solution"
"Nonviolence is the weapon of the strong."
"I'm trying to show by my actions that you can make a far better world if you just care enough. That's all you have to do. It's no big deal. One act of kindness a day can do it."
