William H. Hastie quotes:

Strategic planning for the future is the most hopeful indication of our increasing social intelligence.

Difficulty need not foreshadow despair or defeat. Rather achievement can be all the more satisfying because of obstacles surmounted.

There is no simplistic approach to worthwhile achievement in human affairs.

You have to be there at the right time and you've got to be equipped.

History informs us of past mistakes from which we can learn without repeating them. It also inspires us and gives confidence and hope bred of victories already won.

Democracy is a process, not a static condition. It is becoming, rather than being. It can be easily lost, but is never finally won.

It is not a persuasive argument that an evil should continue because it has existed in the past.
