I have no expectation of making a hit every time I come to bat.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
In time of this grave national danger, when all excess income should go to win the war, no American citizen ought to have a net income, after he has paid his taxes, of more than $25,000 a year.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
If we do not halt this steady process of building commissions and regulatory bodies and the special legislation like huge inverted pyramids over every one of the simple constitutional provisions, we shall soon be spending many billions of dollars more.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
If you have spent two years in bed trying to wiggle your big toe, everything else seems easy.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The constant free flow of communication amount us-enabling the free interchange of ideas-forms the very bloodstream of our nation. It keeps the mind and body of our democracy eternally vital, eternally young.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
You are, I am sure, aware that genuine popular support in the United States is required to carry out any Government policy, foreign or domestic. The American people make up their own minds and no governmental action can change it.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We must be the great arsenal of Democracy.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
How many people in the United States do you think will be willing to go to war to free Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania?
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Peace, like war, can succeed only where there is a will to enforce it, and where there is available power to enforce it.
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
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
People acting together as a group can accomplish things which no individual acting alone could ever hope to bring about.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The true conservative is the man who has a real concern for injustices and takes thought against the day of reckoning.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
All free peoples are deeply impressed by the courage and steadfastness of the Greek nation.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The True conservative seeks to protect the system of private property and free enterprise by correcting such injustices and inequalities as arise from it. The most serious threat to our institutions comes from those who refuse to face the need for change. Liberalism becomes the protection for the far-sighted conservative.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Beware of that profound enemy of the free enterprise system who pays lip-service to free competition, but also labels every antitrust prosecution as a persecution.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I am a Christian and a Democrat, that's all.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The ultimate victory of tomorrow is democracy, and through democracy with education, for no people in all the world can be kept eternally ignorant or eternally enslaved.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
There is nothing so American as our national parks. The scenery and the wildlife are native. The fundamental idea behind the parks is native. It is, in brief, that the country belongs to the people, that it is in process of making for the enrichment of the lives of all of us. The parks stand as the outward symbal of the great human principle.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
