I can not believe that war is the best solution. No one won the last war, and no one will win the next war.

Terrific minds focus on tips; average minds go over activities; little minds talk about people today.

A little simplification would be the first step toward rational living, I think.

No one is all-knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity.

Be confident, not certain

A respect for the rights of other peoples to determine their forms of government and their economy will not weaken our democracy. It will inevitably strengthen it.

Our children should learn the general framework of their government and then they should know where they come in contact with the government, where it touches their daily lives and where their influence is exerted on the government. It must not be a distant thing, someone else's business, but they must see how every cog in the wheel of a democracy is important and bears its share of responsibility for the smooth running of the entire machine.
