More quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt
My own party can succeed at the polls only so long as it continues to be the party of militant liberalism.
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
Friendship among nations, as among individuals, calls for constructive efforts to muster the forces of humanity in order that an atmosphere of close understanding and cooperation may be cultivated.
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

Franklin D. Roosevelt
These are bad days for all of us who remember always that when real world forces come into conflict, the final result is never as dark as we mortals guess it in very difficult days.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Government cannot close its eyes to the pollution of waters, to the erosion of soil, to the slashing of forests any more than it can close its eyes to the need for slum clearance and schools.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
There should be no bitterness or hate where the sole thought is the welfare of the United States of America. No man can occupy the office of President without realizing that he is President of all the people.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We have always known that heedless self interest was bad morals, we now know that it is bad economics.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We know that equality of individual ability has never existed and never will, but we do insist that equality of opportunity still must be sought.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Prosperous farmers mean more employment, more prosperity for the workers and the business men of every industrial area in the whole country.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
This great nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The true conservative is the man who has a real concern for injustices and takes thought against the day of reckoning.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The money-changers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization. We may now restore that temple to the ancient truths.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Freedom to learn is the first necessity of guaranteeing that man himself shall be self reliant enough to be free.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
People acting together as a group can accomplish things which no individual acting alone could ever hope to bring about.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The only thing we have to fear...is audiovisual glitches at our annual event.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
