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

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.

We are many things. We are liberal - for we do believe that, in judging his own daily welfare, each citizen, however humble, has greater wisdom than any government, however great.

We must make it our business to explain what we mean by middle-of-the-road government [dynamic conservatism]. This is the courageous, the constructive path that all of us must take.

I realize that anybody that is trying to travel a middle road in any such thing as a great political process of the United States is attacked from both sides.

I will continue to strive and struggle to apply what I think are conservative principles to the modern problems that we have so that not only in our legislative and governmental processes, but so far as I can help bring it about in our thinking processes, we will come to see the benefit of what I call the middle-of-the-road Government.
