I believe that in our constant search for security we can never gain any peace of mind until we secure our own soul.

Every human being is entitled to courtesy and consideration. Constructive criticism is not only to be expected but sought.

It is time that the great center of our people, who reject the violence and unreasonableness of both the extreme right and the extreme left, searched their consciences, mustered their moral and physical courage, shed their intimidated silence, and declare their consciences.

Freedom unexercised may become freedom forfeited.

The right to criticize: the right to hold unpopular beliefs; the right to protest; the right of independent thought. The exercise of these rights should not cost one single American citizen his reputation or his right to a livelihood... Otherwise none of us could call our souls our own.

My basic rule is to speak slowly and simply so that my audience has an opportunity to follow and think about what I am saying.

The American people are sick and tired of being afraid to speak their minds lest they be politically smeared as 'Communists' or 'Fascists' by their opponents. Freedom of speech is not what it used to be in America. It has been so abused by some that it is not exercised by others.
