More quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt

Franklin D. Roosevelt
We cannot read the history of our rise and development as a nation, without reckoning with the place the Bible has occupied in shaping the advances of the Republic. Where we have been the truest and most consistent in obeying its precepts, we have attained the greatest measure of contentment and prosperity.

Franklin D. Roosevelt
I have a terrific pain in the back of my head.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
A good leader can't get too far ahead of his followers.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
One thing is sure. We have to do something. We have to do the best we know how at the moment... If it doesn't turn out right, we can modify it as we go along.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent experimentation .
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We defend and we build a way of life, not for America alone, but for all mankind.
