More quotes by Wendell Willkie
Freedom of the press is the staff of life, for any vital democracy.
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 modern airplane creates a new geographic dimension ... the world is small, the world is one.
Wendell Willkie
Tolerance is the assumption of superiority
Wendell Willkie
And political parties, overanxious for vote catching, become tolerant to intolerant groups.
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
Free men are the strongest men.
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

Wendell Willkie
Education is the mother of leadership.
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
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
The constitution does not provide for first and second class citizens.
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
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
We must honestly face our relationship with Great Britain.
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
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
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
There are no distant places any longer: the world is small and the world is one.
