True peace can rarely be imposed from the outside; it must be born within and between communities through meetings and dialogue and then carried outward.

Peace is the fruit of love, a love that is also justice. But to grow in love requires work -- hard work. And it can bring pain because it implies loss -- loss of the certitudes, comforts, and hurts that shelter and define us.

We work for peace every time we exercise authority with wisdom and authentic love.

It is not enough to win a war; it is more important to organize the peace.

Another essential to a universal and durable peace is social justice.

There is no justice in social justice, and there is no equality in social equality.
