You just declare \qed at the end of the paragraph, which is essentially what \end{proof} does automatically (with some more bells and whistles you don't need for your situation).
\documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsthm} \begin{document} A paragraph with a QED symbol at the far end. Let's go on with nonsense words just to get a few lines. Let's go on with nonsense words just to get a few lines. Let's go on with nonsense words just to get a few lines.\qed \end{document}

You can locally change the QED symbol. I suggest a special command for the task you want (a triangle instead of the square).
\documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsthm} \newcommand{\triangleqed}{% \begingroup \renewcommand{\qedsymbol}{\ensuremath{\triangle}}% \qed \endgroup } \begin{document} A paragraph with a QED symbol at the far end.
