More quotes by 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
A true world outlook is incompatible with a foreign imperialism, no matter how high-minded the governing country.
Wendell Willkie
And political parties, overanxious for vote catching, become tolerant to intolerant groups.
Wendell Willkie
What a man needs to get ahead is a powerful enemy.
Wendell Willkie
It is from weakness that people reach for dictators and concentrated government power. Only the strong can be free. And only the productive can be strong.
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
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
History shows that our way of life is the stronger way. From it has come more wealth, more industry, more happiness, more human enlightenment than from any other way.
Wendell Willkie

Wendell Willkie
No man has the right to use the great powers of the Presidency to lead the people, indirectly, into war.
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
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
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
The test of good manners is to be able to put up pleasantly with bad ones.
Wendell Willkie
A good catchword can obscure analysis for fifty years.
Wendell Willkie
Free men are the strongest men.
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
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
American liberty is a religion. It is a thing of the spirit.
Wendell Willkie
