Franklin D. Roosevelt

Franklin D. Roosevelt
Buying and selling securities on the Stock Exchange do not start new industries. Big business never starts anything new. It merely absorbs, consolidates and profits at the expense of others.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I love it--I just love it.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
