The test of good manners is to be able to put up pleasantly with bad ones.
From Wendell Willkie
Today it is becoming increasingly apparent to thoughtful Americans that we cannot fight the forces and ideas of imperialism abroad and maintain any form of imperialism at home. The war has done this to our thinking.
A good catchword can obscure analysis for fifty years.
A true world outlook is incompatible with a foreign imperialism, no matter how high-minded the governing country.
For now more than ever, we must keep in the forefront of our minds the fact that whenever we take away the liberties of those we hate, we are opening the way to loss of liberty for those we love.
It is from weakness that people reach for dictators and concentrated government power. Only the strong can be free. And only the productive can be strong.
In no direction that we turn do we find ease or comfort. If we are honest and if we have the will to win we find only danger, hard work and iron resolution.
Education is the mother of leadership.
I have noticed, with much distress, the excessive wartime activity of the investigating bureaus of Congress and the administration, with their impertinent and indecent searching out of the private lives and the past political beliefs of individuals.
Free men are the strongest men.
