No man has a right in America to treat any other man "tolerantly" for tolerance is the assumption of superiority. Our liberties are equal rights of every citizen.

I am not interested in the support of anybody who stands for any form of prejudice as to anybody's race or religion. . . . I have no place in my philosophy for such beliefs.

Whenever we take away the liberties of those whom we hate we are opening the way to loss of liberty for those we love.

A good catchword can obscure analysis for fifty years.

No man has the right to use the great powers of the Presidency to lead the people, indirectly, into war.

I believe the moral losses of expediency always far outweigh the temporary gains.

The test of good manners is to be able to put up pleasantly with bad ones.
