I Think That Being Liberal, In The True Sense, Is Being Nondoctrinaire, Nondogmatic, Noncomitted To A Cause But Examining Each Case On Its Merits.

I'm A Romanticist In Many Ways. I Never Get Behind The Wheel Of My Boat And Dropping The Anchor Without Saying To Myself, Secretly Giving My Orders To The Crew "all Right, Lift The Anchor, We're On Our Way To South Hampton. We're Gonna Beat Them There With This Load Of Tea!"
