A little group of willful men, representing no opinion but their own, have rendered the great government of the United States helpless and contemptible.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are men - now in power in this country - who do not respect dissent, who cannot cope with turmoil, and who believe that the people of America are ready to support repression as long as it is done with a quiet voice and a business suit.
Let us be bold enough and free enough to follow the great examples - the men of good will and honor who put aside little ways and petty hatreds to build the American dream.
The great men of power who seek to change the nations they belong to usually are pretty terrible people.
To me, it was shocking that a government of men could look with such extreme contempt on a movement that was asking nothing except such a simple little thing as the right to vote.
That government is the strongest of which every man feels himself a part.
The men who made the war were profuse in their praises of the man who kicked the P.M. out of his office and now degrades by his disloyal, dishonest and lying presence the greatest office in the State.
The men of the future will yet fight their way to many a liberty that we do not even miss.
Those who occupy their minds with small matters, generally become incapable of greatness.
Any man who has ever tried to use political power for the common good has felt an awful sense of powerlessness.
The greatest men of a nation are those it puts to death.
