Racism cannot be cured solely by attacking some of the results it produces, like discrimination in housing or in education.

What can change the world today is the same thing that has changed it in the past-an idea and the service of dedicated, committed individuals to that idea.

The cure is care. Caring for others is the practice of peace. Caring becomes as important as curing. Caring produces the cure, not the reverse. Caring about nuclear war and its victims is the beginning of a cure for our obsession with war. Peace does not comes through strength. Quite the opposite: Strength comes through peace. The practices of peace strengthen us for every vicissitude. . . . The task is immense!

Christian virtues unite men. Racism separates them.

If education does not create a need for the best in life, then we are stuck in an undemocratic, rigid caste society.

It is well to be prepared for life as it is, but it is better to be prepared to make life better than it is.
