A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.

The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood.

Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.

We must concentrate not merely on the negative expulsion of war but the postive affirmation of peace.
