The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty.

As a matter of fact and experience, the more power is divided the more irresponsible it becomes.

The whole purpose of democracy is that we may hold counsel with one another, so as not to depend upon the understanding of one man.

I do not want to live under a philanthropy. I do not want to be taken care of by the government.... We do not want a benevolent government. We want a free and a just government.

My dream is that as the years go by and the world knows more and more of America, itwill turn to America for those moral inspirations that lie at the basis of all freedomthat America will come into the full light of the day when all shall know that she puts human rights above all other rights, and that her flag is the flag not only of America but of humanity.

Statesmen have to bend to the collective will of their peoples or be broken.
