When liberty is taken away by force it can be restored by force. When it is relinquished voluntarily by default it can never be recovered.

Peace has to be created, in order to be maintained. It will never be achieved by passivity and quietism.

There is nothing to fear except the persistent refusal to find out the truth, the persistent refusal to analyze the causes of happenings.

The only force that can overcome an idea and a faith is another and better idea and faith, positively and fearlessly upheld.

Age is not measured by years. Nature does not equally distribute energy. Some people are born old and tired while others are going strong at seventy.
