I used to be a lawyer, but now I am a reformed character.

I believe in Democracy because it releases the energies of every human being.

The competent leader of men cares little for the niceties of other peoples' characters: he cares much--everything--for the exterior uses to which they may be put.... These are men to be moved. How should he move them? He supplies the power; others simply the materials on which that power operates.

No task, rightly done, is truly private. It is part of the world s work.

To be free is not necessarily to be wise. Wisdom comes with counsel, with the frank and free conference of untrammeled men united in the common interest.

Conformity will be the only virtue and any man who refuses to conform will have to pay the penalty.

There is no indispensable man.
