I see in Communism the focus of the concentrated evil of our time.

A nation's life is about as long as its reverential memory

In the United States, the working class are Democrats. The middle class are Republicans. The upper class are Communists.

Human societies, like human beings, live by faith and die when faith dies.

Men who sincerely abhorred the word Communism in the pursuit of common ends found that they were unable to distinguish Communists from themselves…. For men who could not see that what they firmly believed was liberalism added up to socialism could scarcely be expected to see what added up to Communism. Any charge of Communism enraged them precisely because they could not grasp the differences between themselves and those against whom it was made.

When you understand what you see, you will no longer be children. You will know that life is pain, that each of us hangs always upon the cross of himself. And when you know that this is true of every man, woman and child on earth, you will be wiser.
