"It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed hungry person. True freedom can only be where there is no exploitation and oppression of one person by another; where there is not unemployment, and where a person is not living in fear of losing his job, his home and his bread. Only in such a society personal and any other freedom can exist for real and not on paper."
"It's not the people who vote that count. It's the people who count the votes."
"Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas."
"Great Britain provided time; the United States provided money and Soviet Russia provided blood."
"Divide the world into regional groups as a transitional stage to world government. Populations will more readily abandon their national loyalty to a vague regional loyalty than they will for a world authority. Later the regions can be brought together all the way into a single world dictatorship."
