• "There is no freedom without sacrifice."

• "What do we mean by freedom? We mean the ability to realize the full possibility of each person, which in turn implies economic security, the prospect of social mobility, and the greatest range of choice consistent with the good of society."

• "We want a society that is founded on the idea and the fact of equality of opportunity, so that the primacy of the individual will be clear legally, clear morally and clear practically."

• "No society can be great where those who rule it, see men as objects of cynical manipulation and see our country as a canvas on which to paint a picture of personal power."
