More quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt
Self-help and self-control are the essence of the American tradition.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country... By living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level - I mean the wages of decent living.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The virtues are lost in self-interest as rivers are lost in the sea.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
If you treat people right they will treat you right... ninety percent of the time.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
These are bad days for all of us who remember always that when real world forces come into conflict, the final result is never as dark as we mortals guess it in very difficult days.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I am much interested and deeply impressed by what he has accomplished and by his evidenced honest purpose of restoring Italy and seeking to prevent general European trouble.
