"Ideas have unhinged the gates of empires." — Paul P. Harris

The nation that is supreme above all others during one age, will be eclipsed by another in the next age.

When an individual, a sect, a clique or a nation hates and despises another individual, sect, clique or nation, he or they simply do not know the objects of their hatred. Ignorance is at the bottom of it.

If there is anything worse than international warfare, is civil warfare, and the United States was destined to experience it in the extreme of bitterness.

There is nothing in the genius of America more precious today than the spirit of religious and political tolerance in its application to our own people.
