More quotes by 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
Only the strong can be free. And only the productive can be strong.
Wendell Willkie
Education is the mother of leadership.
Wendell Willkie
Freedom of the press is the staff of life, for any vital democracy.
Wendell Willkie
The modern airplane creates a new geographic dimension ... the world is small, 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
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
I believe in America because we have great dreams, and because we have the opportunity to make those dreams come true.
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 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
A true world outlook is incompatible with a foreign imperialism, no matter how high-minded the governing country.
Wendell Willkie
If the British Fleet were lost or captured, the Atlantic might be dominated by Germany, a power hostile to our way of life, controlling in that event most of the ships and shipbuilding facilities of Europe.
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
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
There are no distant places any longer: the world is small and the world is one.
Wendell Willkie
Tolerance is the assumption of superiority
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
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
