Here’s the source – an October 13, 1948, address in St. Paul at the Municipal Auditorium
I greatly appreciate a source.
I never trust quotes in social media posts as accurate, and they often are not, because strong arguments usually don’t conveniently fit into the format of a quick to read ~300 or less character snippet.
Even in this example there is some generous editing between the source and OP to condense the text to their point.
If you ever want a solid source for quotes, Wikipedia has an underserved sister project called Wikiquote. I’m unfamiliar with details like their inclusion criteria (if those exist), but what I can tell you is that pages have a section for quotes by the subject and – if they’re sufficiently discussed – another for quotes about the subject.
The quotes by the subject can be divided into three subsections: real quotes, ones considered “disputed”, and ones considered “misattributed”, all of which are sourced.
It’s how I confirmed and sourced this quote.
