Peace is not the product of a victory or a command. It has no finishing line, no final deadline, no fixed definition of achievement. Peace is a never-ending process, the work of many decisions.

If you become a teacher, by your pupils you'll be taught.

You've got to be taught to be afraid Of people whose eyes are oddly made, Of people whose skin is a different shade. You've got to be carefully taught.

I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm.

I know the world is filled with troubles and many injustices. But reality is as beautiful as it is ugly. I think it is just as important to sing about beautiful mornings as it is to talk about slums. I just couldn't write anything without hope in it.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart, and you'll never walk alone, you'll never walk alone.

If you really believe in the brotherhood of man, and you want to come into its fold, you've got to let everyone else in, too.
