The American people want something terse, forcible, picturesque, striking - something that will arrest their attention, enlist their sympathy, arouse their indignation, stimulate their imagination, convince their reason, awaken their conscience.

I advocate family planning, but I have never stood for forcible sterilisation.

A half truth like half a brick is always more forcible as an argument than a whole one. It carries better.

Belief is nothing but a more vivid lively forcible firm steady conception of an object than what the imagination alone is ever able to attain.
