I came to the conclusion that in order to end racial barriers, I needed to run for the office of the president and put forth an agenda of social justice and world peace. In addition, I concluded that someone needed to run and challenge the liberal orthodoxy.

There can be no peace in the world so long as a large proportion of the population lack the necessities of life and believe that a change of the political and economic system will make them available. World peace must be based on world plenty.

Peace is much more precious than a piece of land... let there be no more wars.

I intend to leave after my death a large fund for the promotion of the peace idea, but I am skeptical as to its results.

Peace is not the absence of war, but a virtue based on strength of character.
