Who else but the Mahatma could have said "Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man." The very same Mahatma Gandhi in his book The Story of My Experiments with Truth, 1927 also had said “There are many causes I would die for. There is not a single cause I would kill for."
