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
Image
The future lies with those wise political leaders who realize that the great public is interested more in Government than in politics.

New ideas can be good and bad, just the same as old ones.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

The function of Government must be to favor no small group at the expense of its duty to protect the rights of personal freedom and of private property of all its citizens.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

It is the habit of the unthinking to turn to the illusions of economic magic. These unhappy times call for the building of plans that put their faith once more in the forgotten man at the bottom of the economic pyramid
Franklin D. Roosevelt

Resort to force in the Great War (I) failed to bring tranquillity. Victory and defeat alike were sterile. That lesson the world should have learned.

If you hold your fire until you see the whites of his eyes, you will never know what hit you.

The true conservative is the man who has a real concern for injustices and takes thought against the day of reckoning.

I believe that we are going to get along very well with him [Josef Stalin] and the Russian people - very well indeed.

In vain they seek to hide behind the flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny for freedom, not subjection and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.

Peace, like war, can succeed only where there is a will to enforce it, and where there is available power to enforce it.
