 In the name of noble purposes men have committed unspeakable acts of cruelty against one another. |
| It was never intended by the Founding Fathers that the President of the United States should be a ventriloquist's dummy sitting on the lap of Congress. |
| The citizen who criticizes his country is paying it an implied tribute. |
| The junior senator from Wisconsin, by his reckless charges, has so preyed upon the fears and hatreds and prejudices of the American people that he has started a prairie fire which neither he nor anyone else may be able to control. |
| The price of empire is America's soul, and that price is too high. |
| The rapprochement of peoples is only possible when differences of culture and outlook are respected and appreciated rather than feared and condemned, when the common bond of human dignity is recognized as the essential bond for a peaceful world. |
| The Soviet Union has indeed been our greatest menace, not so much because of what it has done, but because of the excuses it has provided us for our failures. |
| There is an inevitable divergence between the world as it is and the world as men perceive it. |
| To avoid a nuclear war . . . you may think that's pretentious but that's its main goal. |

| What a curious picture it is to find man, homo sapiens, of divine origin, we are told, seriously considering going underground to escape the consequences of his own folly. With a little wisdom and foresight, surely it is not yet necessary to forsake life in the fresh air and in the warmth of the sunlight. What a paradox if our own cleverness in science should force us to live underground with the moles. |
| When public men indulge themselves in abuse, when they deny others a fair trial, when they resort to innuendo and insinuation, to libel, scandal, and suspicion, then our democratic society is outraged, and democracy is baffled. |
