More quotes by Wendell Willkie

It is from weakness that people reach for dictators and concentrated government power. Only the strong can be free. And only the productive can be strong.

It was a bit of campaign oratory.

Freedom is an indivisible word. If we want to enjoy it, and fight for it, we must be prepared to extend it to everyone, whether they are rich or poor, whether they agree with us or not, no matter what their race or the colour of their skin.

One World (1943)
