  • A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.

  • We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.

  • The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.

  • Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind.

  • War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today.
