Neutrality is at times a graver sin than belligerence.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Neutrality is generally used as a mask to hide unusual bitterness. Sometimes it hides what it is - nothing. It always stands for hollowness of head or bitterness of heart, sometimes for both.
Neutrality is a negative word. It does not express what America ought to feel. We are not trying to keep out of trouble; we are trying to preserve the foundations on which peace may be rebuilt.
People who demand neutrality in any situation are usually not neutral but in favor of the status quo.
Neutrality, as a lasting principle, is an evidence of weakness.
The concept of neutrality can lead to a brooding and pervasive devotion to the secular and a passive, or even active, hostility to the religious. Such results are not only not compelled by the Constitution, but, it seems to me, are prohibited by it.
Even to observe neutrality you must have a strong government.
We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
Unkindness is quite a major sin.
Never break the neutrality of a port or place, but never consider as neutral any place from whence an attack is allowed to be made.
The American people do not like neutrality. They would rather a man were on the wrong side than on neither.
