More quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt
We, too, born to freedom, and believing in freedom, are willing to fight to maintain freedom. We, and all others who believe as deeply as we do, would rather die on our feet than live on our knees.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We all know that books burn, yet we have the greater knowledge that books cannot be killed by fire. People die, but books never die. No man and no force can put thought in a concentration camp forever. No man and no force can take from the world the books that embody man's eternal fight against tyranny of every kind.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The point in history at which we stand is full of promise and danger. The world will either move forward toward unity and widely shared prosperity - or it will move apart.

Change is like fire- if uncontrolled, it will consume us.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Where freedom of religion has been attacked, the attack has come from sources opposed to democracy. Where democracy has been overthrown, the spirit of free worship has disappeared. And where religion and democracy have vanished, good faith and reason in international affairs have given way to strident ambition and brute force.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Peace, like charity, begins at home.
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
All free peoples are deeply impressed by the courage and steadfastness of the Greek nation.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Friendship among nations, as among individuals, calls for constructive efforts to muster the forces of humanity in order that an atmosphere of close understanding and cooperation may be cultivated.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
If you hold your fire until you see the whites of his eyes, you will never know what hit you.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I have a terrific headache.
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
The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
