The only title in our democracy superior to that of President is the title of citizen.

We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both.

The most important office, and the one which all of us can and should fill, is that of private citizen.

Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done.

Our government... teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.

Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman.

The greatest menace to freedom is an inert people.

If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable.

I'll be pleased when I'm dead. That will let me off worrying about all these wars.

I play the sort of character who would sell his grandmother for career advancement, something I've come across a lot with actors.

Toyland, toyland . . . once you pass its portals you may never return again.

The closer you live to God, the smaller everything else appears.
