More quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt
We may make mistakes-but they must never be mistakes which result from faintness of heart or abandonment of moral principle.
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
A point has been reached where the peoples of the Americas must take cognizance of growing ill-will, of marked trends toward aggression, of increasing armaments, of shortening tempers--a situation which has in it many of the elements that lead to the tragedy of general war.... Peace is threatened by those who seek selfish power.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Self-help and self-control are the essence of the American tradition.
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
It is one of the characteristics of a free and democratic nation that it have free and independent labor unions.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We have faith that future generations will know here, in the middle of the twentieth century, there came a time when men of good will found a way to unite, and produce, and fight to destroy the forces of ignorance, and intolerance, and slavery, and war.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
There is much to be said against the climate on the coast of British Columbia and Alaska yet, I believe that the scenery of one good day will compensate the tourists who will go there in increasing numbers.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
How many people in the United States do you think will be willing to go to war to free Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania?
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Democracy is not a static thing. It is an everlasting march.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I believe that in every country the people themselves are more peaceably and liberally inclined than their governments.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We are a nation of many nationalities, many races, many religions-bound together by a single unity, the unity of freedom and equality. Whoever seeks to set one nationality against another, seeks to degrade all nationalities.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The world order which we seek is the co-operation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society.
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
'Peace on earth, good will toward men' - democracy must cling to that message. For it is my deep conviction that democracy cannot live without that true religion which gives a nation a sense of justice and moral purpose.
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
It was natural and perhaps human that the privileged princes of these new economic dynasties, thirsting for power, reached out for control over government itself. They created a new despotism and wrapped it in the robes of legal sanction. ...And as a result the average man once more confronts the problem that faced the Minute Man.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The American People in their Righteous Might will win through to Absolute Victory.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
