Almighty God, who hast given us this good land for our heritage We humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
It is the habit of the unthinking to turn to the illusions of economic magic. These unhappy times call for the building of plans that put their faith once more in the forgotten man at the bottom of the economic pyramid
Franklin D. Roosevelt
In time of this grave national danger, when all excess income should go to win the war, no American citizen ought to have a net income, after he has paid his taxes, of more than $25,000 a year.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Peace, like charity, begins at home.

Franklin D. Roosevelt
If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
To a great extent the achievements of invention, of mechanical and of artistic creation, must of necessity, and rightly, be individual rather than governmental. It is the self-reliant pioneer in every enterprise who beats the path along which American civilization has marched. Such individual effort is the glory of America.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We have learned the simple truth, as Emerson said that the only way to have a friend is to be one. We can gain no lasting peace if we approach it with suspicion or mistrust or with fear.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We can afford all that we need but we can not afford all [that] we want.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
To stand upon ramparts and die for our principles is heroic, but to sally forth to battle and win for our principles is something more than heroic.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
If in other lands the press and books and literature of all kinds are censored, we must redouble our efforts here to keep them free
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We know that there are chiselers. At the bottom of every case of criticism and obstruction we have found some selfish interest, some private axe to grind.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
This nation asks for action, and action now.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
