"This is the first nation that organized government on the basis of universal liberty with a free Church and a free State. This meant much at the time; it means much now and will continue to be the beacon of light and guidance for ourselves and of other nations. All that is good and practical and wise in the new developments can best be worked out under our form of government without destroying any of the basic principles upon which it rests."

-- Oscar Straus

“Art makes people do a double take and then, if they're looking at the picture, maybe they'll read the text under it that says, "Come to Union Square, For Anti-War Meeting Friday."

“We should never forget that everything Adolf Hitler did in Germany was â€œlegalâ€ and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was â€œillegal.â€ It was â€œillegalâ€ to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitlerâ€™s Germany. Even so, I am sure that, had I lived in Germany at the time, I would have aided and comforted my Jewish brothers. If todayI lived in a Communist country where certain principles dear to the Christian faith are suppressed, I would openly advocate disobeying that country's antireligious laws.”
“Mexico is now a country where we have justice and a rule of law that didn't exist here in past years.”
