Man must evolve for all human conflict
a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation.
The foundation of such a method is love.
-Martin Luther King, Jr., submitted by Judy A., Carbondale IL

The past is prophetic
in that it asserts loudly that
wars are poor chisels
for carving out peaceful tomorrows.

One day we must come to see
that peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek,
but a means by which we arrive at that goal.
We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means.
How much longer must we play at deadly war games
before we heed the plaintive pleas
of the unnumbered dead and maimed of past wars?
-Martin Luther King, Jr., submitted by Cathie M., Madison WI
