I'm not the smartest fellow in the world, but I can sure pick smart colleagues.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
It has always seemed to me that the best symbol of common sense was a bridge.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
No greater blessing could come to our land today than a revival of the spirit of religion. I doubt if there is any problem in the world today -- social, political, or economic -- that would not find happy solution if approached in the spirit of the Sermon on the Mount.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
A good leader can't get too far ahead of his followers.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I have no expectation of making a hit every time I come to bat.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I suggest a nationwide reading of the Holy Scriptures during the period from Thanksgiving Day to Christmas.
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
We count, in the future as in the past, on the driving power of individual initiative, on the incentive of fair private profit, strengthened of course with the acceptance of those obligations to the public interest which rest upon us all.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Peace, like charity, begins at home.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Democracy, the practice of self-government, is a covenant among free men to respect the rights and liberties of their fellows.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The future lies with those wise political leaders who realize that the great public is interested more in Government than in politics. 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
Do Something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else.
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
But while they prate of economic laws, men and women are starving. We must lay hold of the fact that economic laws are not made by nature. They are made by human beings.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
People die, but books never die. No man and no force can abolish memory.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The Democratic Party will live and continue to receive the support of the majority of Americans just so long as it remains a liberal party.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The hand that held the dagger has struck it into the back of its neighbor.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The driving force of a nation lies in its spiritual purpose, made effective by free, tolerant but unremitting national will.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
