“And to that end to invite intelligent discussion from all shades of opinion.”

Advertising in the final analysis should be news.

It will be my earnest aim that The New York Times give the news, all the news, in concise and attractive form,

If it is not news it is worthless.

In language that is permissible in good society, and give it as early if not earlier, than it can be learned through any other reliable medium;

To make of the columns of The New York Times a forum for the consideration of all questions of public importance,

Just slip out the back, Jack, make a new plan, Stan, you don’t need to be coy, Roy, just get yourself free. Hop on the bus, Gus, you don’t need to discuss much, just drop off the key, Lee, and get yourself free.

By bringing current events into the classroom, everyday discussion, and social media.

But now, instead of discussion and argument

I discuss with myself questions of politics, love, taste, or philosophy. I let my mind rove wantonly, give it free rein to followany idea, wise or mad that may present itself. My ideas are my harlots.

Discussion in America means dissent.

The spearhead of progress. If they are fundamentally wrong, free discussion will in time put an end to them.

A discussion should be a genuine attempt to explore a subject rather than a battle between competing egos.

Although feelings are not supposed to intrude on business discussions, they do anyway – we just disguise them as logic.
