We have always known that heedless self interest was bad morals, we now know that it is bad economics.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Franklin D. Roosevelt
Great power involves great responsibility
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Democracy is not a static thing. It is an everlasting march.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Let us move forward with strong and active faith.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Better the occasional faults of a government that lives in a spirit of charity than the consistent omissions of a government frozen in the ice of its own indifference.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The school is the last expenditure upon which America should be willing to economize.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
It is better to swallow words than to have to eat them later.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I tell the American people solemnly that the United States will never survive as a happy and fertile oasis of liberty surrounded by a cruel desert of dictatorship.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The value of love will always be stronger than the value of hate. Any nation or group of nations which employs hatred eventually is torn to pieces by hatred.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The Nazi danger to our Western world has long ceased to be a mere possibility. The danger is here now--not only from a military enemy but from an enemy of all law, all liberty, all morality, all religion.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
