The Intolerant Man Will Not Rely On Persuasion, Or On The Worth Of The Idea. He Would Deny To Others The Very Freedom Of Opinion Or Of Dissent Which He So Stridently Demands For Himself. He Cannot Trust Democracy.

All Do Not Develop In The Same Manner, Or At The Same Pace. Nations, Like Men, Often March To The Beat Of Different Drummers, And The Precise Solutions Of The United States Can Neither Be Dictated Nor Transplanted To Others.

We Must Recognize The Full Human Equality Of All Our People - Before God, Before The Law, And In The Councils Of Government. We Must Do This Not Because It Is Economically Advantageous - Although It Is; Not Because The Laws Of God And Man Command It - Although They Do Command It; Not Because People In Other Lands Wish It So. We Must Do It For The Single And Fundamental Reason That It Is The Right Thing To Do.

The Natural State Of A Human Being Is Dignity.
