  • Freedom of conscience, as written into the Federal Constitution, through the wisdom and foresight of the Fathers has been a guarantee of peace and happiness during all our life as a nation. Any selfish group which would discriminate against any of our fellow citizens because of race or religion would thereby endanger the fundamental rights of all. (en)
  • Msgr. Ryan was a man of broad sympathies whose heart beat with true compassion for the laboring man and laboring woman and for all who bore heavy burdens; for the underprivileged everywhere. I think it is especially fitting that the award in his name is to be made by an organization which recognizes the dignity of human nature regardless of faith, race, color, or social condition. (en)
  • Millions of citizens throughout the world are no longer considered as inviolable persons: they are mere things to be juggled at will by gangster governments. Atheism, Communism, Nazism, excessive nationalism and arrogant militarism have brought back to the civilized world the servitude of man. The anti-Semite, like the atheist and the Communist, refuses to recognize in his neighbor the image and likeness of God. (en)
