Quote by Margaret Chase Smith

“The American people are sick and tired of being afraid to speak their minds lest they be politically smeared as 'Communists' or 'Fascists' by their opponents. Freedom of speech is not what it used to be in America. It has been so abused by some that it is not exercised by others.”

“When I was in grade school and we had to write papers about what we wanted to be when we grew up, I wanted to be a social worker or a missionary or a teacher...

“Let us stop being afraid. Of our own thoughts, our own minds. Of madness, our own or others'.
