More quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt

Let them tell that to the Marines!
Franklin D. Roosevelt

Franklin D. Roosevelt
We must open our eyes and see that modern civilization has become so complex and the lives of civilized men so interwoven with thelives of other men in other countries as to make it impossible to be in this world and out of it.
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
But while they prate of economic laws, men and women are starving. We must lay hold of the fact that economic laws are not made by nature. They are made by human beings.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I have seen war ... I hate war.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Lord, reform Thy world, beginning with me.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
In the field of world policy I would dedicate this nation to the policy of the good neighbor.

Franklin D. Roosevelt
