On the urge for freedom as part of human nature:

“The urge for freedom which democracy seeks to safeguard appears to be innate in the human makeup. Hold the arms and legs of an infant and he will struggle to be released. Similarly peoples, though subjugated for years or generations, will reach out for freedoms if they become possible.”

On race relations:

“There is no reason why all of the races in this country should not live together each of them giving from their particular gift something to the other, and contributing an example to the world of ‘peace on earth, good will toward men.’”
