Frederick Lewis Allen

Quotes

• “Wilson was a visionary who liked to identify himself with “forward-looking man”; Harding … was as old-fashioned as those wooden Indians which used to stand in front of cigar stores.... Wilson thought in terms of the whole world; Harding was for America first. And, finally, whereas Wilson wanted America to exert itself nobly, Harding wanted to give it a rest.”

• “It is easier to tear down a code than to put a new one in its place.”
