More quotes by 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
A true world outlook is incompatible with a foreign imperialism, no matter how high-minded the governing country.
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
Free men are the strongest men.
Wendell Willkie
I believe the moral losses of expediency always far outweigh the temporary gains.
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
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
But we cannot just take this historical fact for granted. We must make it live.
Wendell Willkie
There exists in the world today a gigantic reservoir of good will toward us, the American people.
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
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
Tolerance is the assumption of superiority
Wendell Willkie
What a man needs to get ahead is a powerful enemy.
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
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
And political parties, overanxious for vote catching, become tolerant to intolerant groups.
Wendell Willkie
Only the strong can be free. And only the productive can be strong.
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
American liberty is a religion. It is a thing of the spirit.
