The only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over the goverment. ↗

Not only our future economic soundness but the very soundness of our democratic institutions depends on the determination of our government to give employment to idle men. ↗

The United States Constitution has proved itself the most marvelously elastic compilation of rules of government ever written. ↗

More than an end to war, we want an end to the beginning of all wars - yes, an end to this brutal, inhuman and thoroughly impractical method of settling the differences between governments. ↗
