In The Beginning The Organizer's

The Prerequisite For An Ideology Is Possession Of A Basic Truth.

Organized Business Has Assumed That Greater Profits Would Be Pretty Much Of A Cure-all, And It Has To A Major Extent Ignored The Fact That The Welfare Of Business Rests Upon The Welfare Of The Consumers Of A Nation; That Business Or Free Enterprise Will Function In A Democracy Only So Long As The Democracy Functions.

Action Comes From Keeping The Heat On. No Politician Can Sit On A Hot Issue If You Make It Hot Enough.

As An Organizer I Start From Where The World Is, As It Is, Not As I Would Like It To Be.

I Prize My Own Independence Too Much. And Philosophically, I Could Never Accept Any Rigid Dogma Or Ideology, Whether It's Christianity Or Marxism…the Greatest Crimes In History Have Been Perpetrated By Such Religious And Political And Racial Fanatics, From The Persecutions Of The Inquisition On Down To Communist Purges And Nazi Genocide.
