More quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt
Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Presidents are selected, not elected.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Our security is not a matter of weapons alone. The arm that wields them must be strong, the eye that guides them clear, the will that directs them indomitable.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
...We now realize as we have never before our interdependence on each other that we cannot merely take, but we must be willing to sacrifice for the good of a common discipline, because without such discipline, no progress is made, no leadership becomes effective.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I tell the American people solemnly that the United States will never survive as a happy and fertile oasis of liberty surrounded by a cruel desert of dictatorship.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The virtues are lost in self-interest as rivers are lost in the sea.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The function of Government must be to favor no small group at the expense of its duty to protect the rights of personal freedom and of private property of all its citizens.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I regard reduction in Federal spending as one of the most important issues in this campaign. In my opinion it is the most direct and effective contribution that Government can make to business.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We have always known that heedless self interest was bad morals, we now know that it is bad economics.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I do not look upon these United States as a finished product. We are still in the making.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
There is a mysterious cycle in human events. To some generations much is given. Of other generations much is expected. This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Buying and selling securities on the Stock Exchange do not start new industries. Big business never starts anything new. It merely absorbs, consolidates and profits at the expense of others.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
People die, but books never die.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The American people want their government to act, and not merely to talk, whenever and wherever there is a threat to world peace.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The American People in their Righteous Might will win through to Absolute Victory.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Every man has a right to life, and this means that he has also a right to make a comfortable living.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
More striking still, it appeared that, if the process of concentration goes on at the same rate, at the end of another century we shall have all American industry controlled by a dozen corporations and run by perhaps a hundred men. Put plainly, we are steering a steady course toward economic oligarchy, if we are not there already.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The driving force of a nation lies in its spiritual purpose, made effective by free, tolerant but unremitting national will.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
