What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Democracy... while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.
Ending poverty calls for humility, honesty, freedom from ideology and refusal to accept cruel simplicities about anyone's human potential. It requires listening to the wisdom and cutting the nonsense from both the Right and the Left.
A marvel that has nothing to offer, democracy is at once a nation's paradise and its tomb.
Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.
A society that has more justice is a society that needs less charity.
The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.
I have said democracy and freedom do not work too well if you are hungry, if you are starving.
The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty, and all forms of human life.
Unity in things Necessary, Liberty in things Unnecessary, and Charity in all.
Nothing is more precious than independence and liberty.
