More quotes by 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
There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
It is highly unlikely that an airplane, or fleet of them, could ever sink a fleet of Navy vessels under battle conditions.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
All of us in all the Americas will be living at the point of a gun.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
You'll have to learn that public life takes a lot of sweat but it doesn't need to worry you. You won't always be right, but you mustn't suffer from being wrong. That's what kills people like us.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Slowly, and in spite of anything we Americans do or do not do, it looks a little as if you and some other good people are going to have to answer the old question of whether you want to keep your country unshackled by taking even more definite steps to do so
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We count, in the future as in the past, on the driving power of individual initiative, on the incentive of fair private profit, strengthened of course with the acceptance of those obligations to the public interest which rest upon us all.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I do not look upon these United States as a finished product. We are still in the making.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Freedom to learn is the first necessity of guaranteeing that man himself shall be self reliant enough to be free.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Rules are not necessarily sacred, principles are.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We must be the great arsenal of Democracy.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The most difficult place in the world to get a clear and open perspective of the country as a whole is Washington.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The world order which we seek is the co-operation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society.
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
I ask especially that no state shall, by law or otherwise, authorize the return of the saloon, either in its old form or in some modern guise.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Never before have we had so little time in which to do so much.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We are fighting to save a great and precious form of government for ourselves and for the world.
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. Indeed in these days, when every available dollar should go to the war effort, I do not think that any American citizen should have a net income in excess of $25,000 per year after payment of taxes.
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
