Franklin D. Roosevelt
Every time an artist dies, part of the vision of mankind passes with him.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
What I seek is the highest possible batting average.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

Franklin D. Roosevelt
Be sincere be brief be seated.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

Franklin D. Roosevelt
All of our people all over the country-except the pure-blooded Indians-are immigrants or descendants of immigrants, including even those who came over here on the Mayflower.
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
Freedom of conscience, of education, of speech, of assembly are among the very fundamentals of democracy and all of them would be nullified should freedom of the press ever be successfully challenged.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I have seen war ... I hate war.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
