More quotes by 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
There are no distant places any longer: the world is small and the world is one.
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
Freedom of the press is the staff of life, for any vital democracy.
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
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

Wendell Willkie
The test of good manners is to be able to put up pleasantly with bad ones.
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
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
Only the strong can be free. And only the productive can be strong.
