American foreign policy must be more than the management of crisis. It must have a great and guiding goal: to turn this time of American influence into generations of democratic peace.

I have consistently preached that nonviolence demands that the means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek.

The end we seek is a society at peace with itself, a society that can live with its conscience. And that will be a day not of the white man, not of the black man. That will be the day of man as man.

The just person enjoys. the greatest peace of mind, while the unjust is full of the utmost disquietude.

We must come to see that the end we seek is a society at peace with itself, a society that can live with its conscience.

You cannot be consistently fair or just or kind or generous or loving without courage. It is time for you to decide privately, secretly, in your own place inside yourselves, what you will do. You have to come to peace with a peaceful heart.

If peace is the fruit of righteousness (Isa. 32:17), then joy is the wine from the fruit! Joy will ultimately flow from obedience, and few things display God's splendor any more appealingly than joy!

Peace is the fruit of righteousness which, in essence, is obedience to God's commands—the product of abiding in the vine. The wine which flows from the ripened fruit is joy!

The key to peace is authority—peace is the fruit of an obedient, righteous life.

The deepest rivers make least din, The silent soule doth most abound in care.

If the United Nations could bring lasting peace, man could say to God, "We do not need You anymore. We have brought peace on earth and have organized humanity in righteousness." All of these schemes are patchwork remedies that a sick and dying world must use while waiting for the Great Physician.

No form of government has been able to establish righteousness, justice, and peace, the three elements without which we can never have continued national prosperity or international peace.
