More quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt
Organized money hates me--and I welcome their hatred!
Franklin D. Roosevelt

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

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

Franklin D. Roosevelt

The growing independence of voters, after all, has been proven by the votes in every Presidential election since my childhood and the tendency, frankly, is on the increase.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
It is better to swallow words than to have to eat them later.
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
Presidents are selected, not elected.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
There can be little doubt that in many ways the story of bridge building is the story of civilisation. By it we can readily measure an important part of a people's progress.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I have a terrific pain in the back of my head.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
All free peoples are deeply impressed by the courage and steadfastness of the Greek nation.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The success of our whole national program depends, of course, on the cooperation of the public--on its intelligent support and its use of a reliable system.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
If I went to work in a factory the first thing I'd do is join a union.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Hitler built a fortress around Europe, but he forgot to put a roof on it.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
