Peace without Justice is a low estate, A coward cringing to an iron Fate! But Peace through Justice is the great ideal, We'll pay the price of war to make it real.

So let the way wind up the hill or down, O’er rough or smooth, the journey will be joy Still seeking what I sought when but a boy, New friendship, high adventure, and a crown. My heart will keep the courage of the quest, And hope the road’s last turn will be the best.

Henry Van Dyke
