Franklin D. Roosevelt
We have faith that future generations will know here, in the middle of the twentieth century, there came a time when men of good will found a way to unite, and produce, and fight to destroy the forces of ignorance, and intolerance, and slavery, and war.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

Franklin D. Roosevelt
Your profits are going to be cut down to a reasonably low level by taxation. Your income will be subject to higher taxes.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

We are fighting to save a great and precious form of government for ourselves and for the world.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
It was natural and perhaps human that the privileged princes of these new economic dynasties, thirsting for power, reached out for control over government itself.

Franklin D. Roosevelt
'Peace on earth, good will toward men' - democracy must cling to that message. For it is my deep conviction that democracy cannot live without that true religion which gives a nation a sense of justice and moral purpose.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Do the best you can do and wait the results in peace.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent experimentation .

Franklin D. Roosevelt
The frontier of America is on the Rhine.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Are we going to take the hands of the federal government completely off any effort to adjust the growing of national crops, and go right straight back to the old principle that every farmer is a lord of his own farm and can do anything he wants, raise anything, any old time, in any quantity, and sell any time he wants?
Franklin D. Roosevelt
