At all times, day by day, we have to continue fighting for freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom from want... for these are things that must be gained in peace as well as in war.

Anyone who knows history, particularly the history of Europe, will, I think, recognize that the domination of education or of government by any one particular religious faith is never a happy arrangement for the people.

Sailors have the cleanest bodies and the filthiest minds.

Surely, in the light of history, it is more intelligent to hope rather than to fear, to try rather than not to try. For one thing we know beyond all doubt: nothing has ever been achieved by the person who says: it can't be done.

We will have to want peace, want it enough to pay for it, before it becomes an accepted rule.

If we do not pay for children in good schools, then we are going to pay for them in prisons and mental hospitals.

It's your life-but only if you make it so.
