We have learned that we cannot live alone, at peace that our own well-being is dependent on the well-being of other nations far away. We have learned that we must live as men, not as ostriches, nor as dogs in the manger.

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

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

Franklin D. Roosevelt
Labor Day symbolizes our determination to achieve an economic freedom for the average man which will give his political freedom realty.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We have the men--the skill--the wealth--and above all, the will.... We must be the great arsenal of democracy.
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
Change is like fire- if uncontrolled, it will consume us.
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.
