Except for those who think in terms of pious platitudes or dogma or narrow prejudice (and those thoughts we aren't interested in), people don't speak their beliefs easily, or publicly.

Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices - just recognize them.

We're not descended from fearful men - not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular.

The obscure we always see sooner or later; the obvious always seems to take a little longer.

We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men ... We proclaim ourselves, as indeed we are, the defenders of freedom, wherever it continues to exist in the world, but we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.

We will not be driven by fear ... if we remember that we are not descended from fearful men.

Tuberculosis, starvation, fatigue, and there are many who have no desire to live.
