"War is a losing business, a financial loss, a loss of life and an economic degeneration."

"The course of unbalanced budgets is the road to ruin."

"Free speech does not live many hours after free industry and free commerce die."

"When there is a lack of honor in government, the morals of the whole people are poisoned."

"Older men declare war. But it is youth that must fight and die. And it is youth who must inherit the tribulation, the sorrow, and the triumphs that are the aftermath of war."

"True Liberalism is found not in striving to spread bureaucracy but in striving to set bounds to it."

"It is a paradox that every dictator has climbed to power on the ladder of free speech. Immediately on attaining power each dictator has suppressed all free speech except his own."
