We know it because democracy alone has constructed an unlimited civilization capable of infinite progress in the improvement of human life.

The Democratic Party will live and continue to receive the support of the majority of Americans just so long as it remains a liberal party.

I am that kind of conservative because I am that kind of liberal.

The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.

A radical is a man with both feet firmly planted-in the air; a conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned to walk forward; . . . a liberal is a man who uses his legs and his hands at the behest-at the command-of his head.

In our personal ambitions we are individualists. But in our seeking for economic and political progress as a nation, we all go up or else all go down as one people.
