More quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt
Finally, in our progress toward a resumption of work we require two safeguards against a return of the evils of the old order: there must be a strict supervision of all banking and credits and investments there must be an end to speculation with other people's money, and there must be provision for an adequate but sound currency.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I have no expectation of making a hit every time I come to bat.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
In our democracy officers of the government are the servants, and never the masters of the people.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Freedom of speech is of no use to a man who has nothing to say and freedom of worship is of no use to a man who has lost his God.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The only thing we have to fear...is audiovisual glitches at our annual event.
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
[D]rilling and arming, when carried on on a national scale, excite whole populations to frenzies which end in war.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.... [The organized moneyed people] are unanimous in their hate for me and I welcome their hatred.... I should like to have it said of my second administration that these forces met their master.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
You sometimes find something good in the lunatic fringe. In fact, we have got as part of our social and economic government today a whole lot of things which in my boyhood were considered lunatic fringe, and yet they are now part of everyday life.
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
Democracy is not a static thing. It is an everlasting march.
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
Your profits are going to be cut down to a reasonably low level by taxation. Your income will be subject to higher taxes. Indeed in these days, when every available dollar should go to the war effort, I do not think that any American citizen should have a net income in excess of $25,000 per year after payment of taxes.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
These Republican leaders have not been content with attacks on me, on my wife, or on my sons. No, not content with that, they now include my little dog, Fala. Well, of course, I don't resent attacks... but Fala does resent them.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
It is the duty of the President to propose and it is the privilege of the Congress to dispose.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
General de Gaulle was a thoroughly bad boy. The day he arrived, he thought he was Joan of Arc and the following day he insisted that he was Georges Clemenceau.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
No man can tame a tiger into a kitten by stroking it. There can be no appeasement with ruthlessness. There can be no reasoning with an incendiary bomb.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We can afford all that we need but we can not afford all [that] we want.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The function of Government must be to favor no small group at the expense of its duty to protect the rights of personal freedom and of private property of all its citizens.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
