But only by an army of public-spirited and law-abiding citizens can we hope to win the peace and maintain and remain a great nation."

"There can be no such thing as a necessary evil. For, if a thing is really necessary, it cannot be evil and if it is an evil, it is not necessary."

"What priming will do to a pump, information and a sincere, understanding talking to will do to an active, impressionable mind-get it started, provoke it to think."

"You will never be a leader unless you first learn to follow and be led."
