Violence is any day preferable to impotence. There is hope for a violent man to become non-violent. There is no such hope for the impotent.

Gandhi meant that it is better to acknowledge and confront the violence within oneself, rather than pretending to be nonviolent while harboring violent thoughts or feelings. He emphasized the importance of dealing with one's own inner conflicts and emotions honestly, rather than using nonviolence as a mask for powerlessness or fear.
