When You Are Going Through

If Tonight Our People Were Asked To Cast Their Vote Whether A Convention Should Be Entered Into To Stop The Bombing Of Cities, The Overwhelming Majority Would Cry, "we Will Mete Out To Them [the Germans] The Measure, And More Than The Measure, That They Have Meted Out To Us... We Will Have No Truce Or Parley With You, Or The Grisly Gang Who Work Your Wicked Will. You Do Your Worst - And We Will Do Our Best."

We See Nothing But Good And Hope In A Richer, Freer, More Contented European Commonalty. But We Have Our Own Dreams And Our Own Task. We Are With Europe, But Not Of It. We Are Linked, But Not Comprised. We Are Interested And Associated, But Not Absorbed.

Who Is Not Liberal When Young, Does Not Have A Heart. Who Is Not Conservative When Old, Does Not Have A Brain.

Socialism Needs To Pull Down Wealth; Liberalism Seeks To Raise Up Poverty. Socialism Would Destroy Private Interests, Liberalism Would Preserve [them] ... By Reconciling Them With Public Right. Socialism Would Kill Enterprise; Liberalism Would Rescue Enterprise From The Trammels Of Privilege And Preference. Socialism Assails The Preeminence Of The Individual; Liberalism Seeks ... To Build Up A Minimum Standard For The Mass. Socialism Exalts The Rule; Liberalism Exalts The Man. Socialism Attacks Capitalism; Liberalism Attacks Monopoly.

A Pessimist Sees The Difficulty In Every Opportunity; An Optimist Sees The Opportunity In Every Difficulty.
