More quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt
You'll have to learn that public life takes a lot of sweat but it doesn't need to worry you. You won't always be right, but you mustn't suffer from being wrong. That's what kills people like us.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger. With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph, so help us God.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

Franklin D. Roosevelt
The hand that held the dagger has struck it into the back of its neighbor.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Are we going to take the hands of the federal government completely off any effort to adjust the growing of national crops, and go right straight back to the old principle that every farmer is a lord of his own farm and can do anything he wants, raise anything, any old time, in any quantity, and sell any time he wants?
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Organized money hates me--and I welcome their hatred!
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The only thing we have to fear...is audiovisual glitches at our annual event.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The whole world is one neighborhood.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Presidents are selected, not elected.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Never before have we had so little time in which to do so much.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
All free peoples are deeply impressed by the courage and steadfastness of the Greek nation.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Be sincere be brief be seated.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Taxation according to income is the most effective instrument yet devised to obtain just contribution from those best able to bear it and to avoid placing onerous burdens upon the mass of our people.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
