More quotes by Wendell Willkie
Education is the mother of leadership.
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
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
There are no distant places any longer: the world is small and the world is one.
Wendell Willkie

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
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 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
The modern airplane creates a new geographic dimension ... the world is small, the world is one.

What a man needs to get ahead is a powerful enemy.
