“There is nothing I love as much as a good fight.”
Good“Yesterday, December seventh, 1941, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.”
War“There is nothing I love as much as a good fight.”
Good“Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.”
Government“No group and no government can properly prescribe precisely what should constitute the body of knowledge with which true education is concerned.”
Education“Favor comes because for a brief moment in the great space of human change and progress some general human purpose finds in him a satisfactory embodiment.”
Change“A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned how to walk forward.”
Good“If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace.”
Peace“Put two or three men in positions of conflicting authority. This will force them to work at loggerheads, allowing you to be the ultimate arbiter.”
Men“One thing is sure. We have to do something. We have to do the best we know how at the moment... If it doesn't turn out right, we can modify it as we go along.”
Best“More than an end to war, we want an end to the beginning of all wars - yes, an end to this brutal, inhuman and thoroughly impractical method of settling the differences between governments.”
War“We are trying to construct a more inclusive society. We are going to make a country in which no one is left out.”
Society“No government can help the destinies of people who insist in putting sectional and class consciousness ahead of general weal.”
Government“The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.”
History“Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.”
Education“Yesterday, December seventh, 1941, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.”
War“Whoever seeks to set one religion against another seeks to destroy all religion.”
Religion“If you treat people right they will treat you right... ninety percent of the time.”
Time“The United States Constitution has proved itself the most marvelously elastic compilation of rules of government ever written.”
Government“The overwhelming majority of Americans are possessed of two great qualities a sense of humor and a sense of proportion.”
Great“It takes a long time to bring the past up to the present.”
Time“We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon.”
