Franklin D. Roosevelt
Wise and prudent men and intelligent conservatives have long known that in a changing world worthy institutions can be conserved only by adjusting them to the changing time.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
First of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself - nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Unless the peace that follows recognizes that the whole world is one neighborhood and does justice to the whole human race, the germs of another world war will remain as a constant threat to mankind.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I am ... willing to make it clear that American foreign policy must uphold the sanctity of international treaties. That is the cornerstone on which all relations between nations must rest.
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
It isn't sufficient just to want - you've got to ask yourself what you are going to do to get the things you want.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We defend and we build a way of life, not for America alone, but for all mankind.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We do not see faith, hope, and charity as unattainable ideals, but we use them as stout supports of a nation fighting the fight for freedom in a modern civilization.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
