We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both.

To be good Americans, we must be better Jews, and to be better Jews, we must become Zionists.

Those who won our independence by revolution were not cowards. They did not fear political change. They did not exalt order at the cost of liberty.

Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the Government's purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding.

No danger flowing from speech can be deemed clear and present unless the incidence of the evil apprehended is so imminent that it may befall before there is an opportunity for full discussion. Only an emergency can justify repression.

We gain nothing by trading the tyranny of capital for the tyranny of labor.

History is not life, but since only life makes history, the union of the two is obvious.
