We are fighting to save a great and precious form of government for ourselves and for the world.

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.

We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American Eagle in order to feather their own nests.

Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.

Creative is my god. Technology my cherished lover.

One person of integrity can make a difference.

For some directors, I'm the actor from hell.

Democracy is threatened by the inertia of good people, by the selfishness of most people, and by the evil designs of a few people.

Avoidance of sin is lighter than the pain of remorse.
