More quotes by Wendell Willkie
What a man needs to get ahead is a powerful enemy.
Wendell Willkie
No man has a right in America to treat any other man tolerantly for tolerance is the assumption of superiority. Our liberties are equal rights of every citizen.
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
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
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
Free men are the strongest men.
Wendell Willkie
There are no distant places any longer: the world is small and the world is one.
Wendell Willkie
There exists in the world today a gigantic reservoir of good will toward us, the American people.
Wendell Willkie
But we cannot just take this historical fact for granted. We must make it live.
Wendell Willkie
The constitution does not provide for first and second class citizens.
Wendell Willkie
I believe the moral losses of expediency always far outweigh the temporary gains.
Wendell Willkie
Today it is becoming increasingly apparent to thoughtful Americans that we cannot fight the forces and ideas of imperialism abroad and maintain any form of imperialism at home. The war has done this to our thinking.
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
American liberty is a religion. It is a thing of the spirit.
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
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
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
The test of good manners is to be able to put up pleasantly with bad ones.
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.
