Franklin D. Roosevelt
Never underestimate a man who overestimates himself.
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
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

Franklin D. Roosevelt
Men and nature must work hand in hand. The throwing out of balance of the resources of nature throws out of balance also the lives of men.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I have seen children starving. I have seen the agony of mothers and wives. I hate war.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We all know that books burn, yet we have the greater knowledge that books cannot be killed by fire. People die, but books never die. No man and no force can put thought in a concentration camp forever. No man and no force can take from the world the books that embody man's eternal fight against tyranny of every kind.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
If I went to work in a factory the first thing I'd do is join a union.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Lord, reform Thy world, beginning with me.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
To bring about government by oligarchy, masquerading as democracy, it is fundamentally essential that practically all authority and control be centralized in our Federal government. . . The individual sovereignty of our states must first be destroyed.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
They realize that in thirty-four months we have built up new instruments of public power. In the hands of a peoples Government this power is wholesome and proper. But in the hands of political puppets of an economic autocracy such power would provide shackles for the liberties of the people.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Slowly, and in spite of anything we Americans do or do not do, it looks a little as if you and some other good people are going to have to answer the old question of whether you want to keep your country unshackled by taking even more definite steps to do so
Franklin D. Roosevelt
