There is no Constitutional issue here. The command of the Constitution is plain. There is no moral issue. It is wrong - deadly wrong - to deny any of your fellow Americans the right to vote in this country. There is no issue of States' rights or National rights. There is only the struggle for human rights.

This administration here and now declares unconditional war on poverty.

A President Roosevelt comes only once in a century. I believe God knew and does know of the need of the world at this moment. I don't believe President Roosevelt is an accident in time, or that it is an accident that he is President for a third time. I believe that Franklin D. Roosevelt truly is the voice of liberty in the world.

The law cannot save those who deny it but neither can the law serve any who do not use it. The history of injustice and inequality is a history of disuse of the law.

All of us realize that war requires action. What is sometimes harder for us to realize is that peace and neutrality also require action.

I cannot say and no man could say that no more will be asked of us.

You've got to work things out in the cloakroom, and when you've got them worked out, you can debate a little before you vote.
