Peaceis not the absence of conflict but the presence of creative alternatives forresponding to conflict alternatives to passive or aggressive responses,alternatives to violence.
Every kind of peaceful cooperation among men is primarilybased on mutual trust and only secondarily on institutions such as courts ofjustice and police.
Thecourts of this country should not be the places where resolution of disputesbegins. They should be the places where the disputes end after alternativemethods of resolving disputes have been considered and tried.
