More quotes by Wendell Willkie
Free men are the strongest men.
Wendell Willkie
The constitution does not provide for first and second class citizens.
Wendell Willkie
It is, therefore, essential that we guard our own thinking and not be among those who cry out against prejudices applicable to themselves, while busy spawning intolerances for others.
Wendell Willkie
And political parties, overanxious for vote catching, become tolerant to intolerant groups.
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
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
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
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
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
I am not interested in the support of anybody who stands for any form of prejudice as to anybody's race or religion. . . . I have no place in my philosophy for such beliefs.
Wendell Willkie
The modern airplane creates a new geographic dimension ... the world is small, the world is one.
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
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
What a man needs to get ahead is a powerful enemy.
Wendell Willkie
There exists in the world today a gigantic reservoir of good will toward us, the American people.
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
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
