I believe in the forgiveness of sin and the redemption of ignorance.

The free press is the mother of all our liberties and of our progress under liberty.

A politician is a statesman who approaches every question with an open mouth.

A hypocrite is the kind of politician who would cut down a redwood tree, then mount the stump and make a speech for conservation.

Freedom is not an ideal, it is not even a protection, if it means nothing more than freedom to stagnate, to live without dreams, to have no greater aim than a second car and another television set.

You know, you really can't beat a household commodity - the ketchup bottle on the kitchen table.

Ignorance is stubborn and prejudice is hard.
