J. William Fulbright quotes about
miscarriage agreement differences
Insofar as it represents a genuine reconciliation of differences, a consensus is a fine thing; insofar as it represents a concealment of differences, it is a miscarriage of democratic procedure.
omnipotence virtue
Power confuses itself with virtue and tends also to take itself for omnipotence.
strong virtue legislature
The greatest single virtue of a strong legislature is not what it can do, but what it can prevent.
kings warrior compassion
The age of warrior kings and of warrior presidents has passed. The nuclear age calls for a different kind of leadership.... a leadership of intellect, judgment, tolerance and rationality, a leadership committed to human values, to world peace, and to the improvement of the human condition. The attributes upon which we must draw are the human attributes of compassion and common sense, of intellect and creative imagination, and of empathy and understanding between cultures.
