When I returned home, I knew that permanence, continuity, alone was what I wanted, not the glittering life of New York and Washington, not the intellectual life of universities. What I wanted was a piece of land which I could love passionately, which I could spend the rest of my life in cultivating, cherishing and improving, which I might leave together, perhaps, with my own feeling for it, to m..

When you are protesting-especially when your protests are justified and when the middle-aged people who have power in their hands at the moment don’t take you seriously and laugh at you or get angry with you-it is very tempting to make sure of attracting their attention by taking to violence. But violence inevitably provokes a ‘backlash.’ If you young people resort to violence, then the people i..

The state maintains its rules not for the sake of the rules, but for what they do to individual lives. Each of its members is striving to be happy. He then needs the conditions without which happiness is unattainable; and he judges the state by its ability to secure those conditions for him. Obviously enough, the state cannot guarantee happiness to everyone, for the simple reason that some of th..

Why should the English public proclaim itself so much more keenly interested in the doings of the rich and the titled than the public in other countries? Attachment to tradition may be invoked as one of the causes.

You ask; “What is our policy?” I will say: it is to wage ware by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength ..

We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom-symbolizing an end as well as a beginning-signifying a renewal as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago. The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty ..

If you look about you at the men and women whom you can call happy, you will see that they all have certain things in common. The most important of these things is an activity which at most times is enjoyable on its own account, and which, in addition, gradually builds up something that you are glad to see coming into existence. Women who take an instinctive pleasure in their children (which man..

Almost every great writer in any country has been a social critic of his times. But nowhere has the writer acted more as the conscience of the people than he has in Russia. This tradition, so strongly rooted in czarist times, survived unbroken into the Bolshevik era despite every effort by Lenin and his successors to harness all Russian writers to the apparatus of the state or to silence them by..
