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.

Franklin D. Roosevelt
The Nation that destroys its soil destroys itself.
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
Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth.

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
Democracy alone, of all forms of government, enlists the full force of men's enlightened will.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I love it--I just love it.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

Franklin D. Roosevelt
If in other lands the press and books and literature of all kinds are censored, we must redouble our efforts here to keep them free
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our Nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
