I am convinced that love is the most durable power in the world. It is not an expression of impractical idealism, but of practical realism.

When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind.

Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.

It is not possible to be in favor of justice for some people and not be in favor of justice for all people.

Somewhere somebody must have some sense. Men must see that force begets force, hate begets hate, toughness begets toughness. And it is all a descending spiral, ultimately ending in destruction for all and everybody. Somebody must have sense enough and morality enough to cut off the chain of hate and the chain of evil in the universe. And you do that by love.

The labor movement was the principal force that transforme­d misery and despair into hope and progress.

We refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.
