More quotes by Wendell Willkie
Tolerance is the assumption of superiority
Wendell Willkie
The constitution does not provide for first and second class citizens.
Wendell Willkie
To suppress minority thinking and minority expression would tend to freeze society and prevent progress. Now more than ever we must keep in the forefront of our minds the fact that whenever we take away the liberties of those we hate, we are opening the way to loss of liberty for those we love.
Wendell Willkie
But we cannot just take this historical fact for granted. We must make it live.
Wendell Willkie
If the British Fleet were lost or captured, the Atlantic might be dominated by Germany, a power hostile to our way of life, controlling in that event most of the ships and shipbuilding facilities of Europe.
Wendell Willkie
A good catchword can obscure analysis for fifty years.
Wendell Willkie
Free men are the strongest men.
Wendell Willkie
We must honestly face our relationship with Great Britain.
Wendell Willkie
But if we had to trade with a Europe dominated by the present German trade policies, we might have to change our methods to some totalitarian form. This is a prospect that any lover of democracy must view with consternation.
Wendell Willkie
If we want to talk about freedom, we must mean freedom for others as well as ourselves, and we must mean freedom for everyone inside our frontiers as well as outside.
Wendell Willkie
In no direction that we turn do we find ease or comfort. If we are honest and if we have the will to win we find only danger, hard work and iron resolution.
Wendell Willkie
Whenever we take away the liberties of those whom we hate we are opening the way to loss of liberty for those we love.
Wendell Willkie
When we talk of freedom and opportunity for all nations, the mocking paradoxes in our own society become so clear they can no longer be ignored.
Wendell Willkie
The modern airplane creates a new geographic dimension ... the world is small, the world is one.
Wendell Willkie
Be honorable yourself if you wish to associate with honorable people.
Wendell Willkie
Emancipation came to the colored race in America as a war measure. It was an act of military necessity. Manifestly it would have come without war, in the slower process of humanitarian reform and social enlightenment.
Wendell Willkie
I believe in America because we have great dreams, and because we have the opportunity to make those dreams come true.
Wendell Willkie
The modern airplane creates a new geographical dimension. A navigable ocean of air blankets the whole surface of the globe. There are no distant places any longer: the world is small and the world is one.
Wendell Willkie
Freedom is an indivisible word. If we want to enjoy it, and fight for it, we must be prepared to extend it to everyone, whether they are rich or poor, whether they agree with us or not, no matter what their race or the color of their skin.
Wendell Willkie
Freedom of the press is the staff of life, for any vital democracy.
Wendell Willkie
