An invisible empire has been set up above the forms of Democracy

There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power; not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.

That a peasant may become king does not render the kingdom democratic.

What is at the heart of all national problems? It is that we have seen the hand of material interest sometimes about to close upon our dearest rights and possessions.

I am one who fights without a knack of hoping confidentlysimply a Scotch-Irishman who will not be conquered.

There is a price which is too great to pay for peace, and that price can be put in one word. One cannot pay the price of self-respect.

A right is worth fighting for only when it can be put into operation.
