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

Yes, if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice; say that I was a drum major for peace; I was a drum major for righteousness. I want to leave a committed life behind.

One day we must come to see that peace is not merely a distant goal we seek, but that it is a means by which we arrive at that goal. We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means.

True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice.

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

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.
