More quotes by 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 constitution does not provide for first and second class citizens.
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
I believe the moral losses of expediency always far outweigh the temporary gains.
Wendell Willkie
No man has the right to use the great powers of the Presidency to lead the people, indirectly, into war.
Wendell Willkie
The modern airplane creates a new geographic dimension ... the world is small, the world is one.
Wendell Willkie
A good catchword can obscure analysis for fifty years.
Wendell Willkie

Wendell Willkie
There are no distant places any longer: the world is small and the world is one.
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
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
Be honorable yourself if you wish to associate with honorable people.
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
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
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
Education is the mother of leadership.
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
