The best customer of American industry is the well paid worker.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We want a Supreme Court which will do justice under the Constitution - not over it. In our courts we want a government of laws and not of men.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

The parks stand as the outward symbal of the great human principle.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

Franklin D. Roosevelt
More than just an end to war, we want an end to the beginnings of all wars.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
A serf-supporting and self-respecting democracy can plead no justification for the existence of child labor, no economic reason for chiseling workers' wages or stretching workers' hours.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
No group and no government can properly prescribe precisely what should constitute the body of knowledge with which true education is concerned.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Goods produced under conditions which do not meet a rudimentary standard to decency should be regarded as contraband and not allowed to pollute the channels of international commerce.
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
[D]rilling and arming, when carried on on a national scale, excite whole populations to frenzies which end in war.
