More quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt
Never before have we had so little time in which to do so much.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
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
The American people want their government to act, and not merely to talk, whenever and wherever there is a threat to world peace.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We continue to recognize the greater ability of some to earn more than others. But we do assert that the ambition of the individual to obtain for him a proper security is an ambition to be preferred to the appetite for great wealth and great power.
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
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.
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
If you have spent two years in bed trying to wiggle your big toe, everything else seems easy.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
If you hold your fire until you see the whites of his eyes, you will never know what hit you.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Are you laboring under the impression that I read these memoranda of yours? I can't even lift them.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Eternal truths will be neither true nor eternal unless they have fresh meaning for every new social situation.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Be sincere be brief be seated.
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
I am neither bitter nor cynical but I do wish there was less immaturity in political thinking.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Democracy can thrive only when it enlists the devotion of those whom Lincoln called the common people. Democracy can hold that devotion only when it adequately respects their dignity by so ordering society as to assure to the masses of men and women reasonable security and hope for themselves and for their children.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The Nazi danger to our Western world has long ceased to be a mere possibility. The danger is here now--not only from a military enemy but from an enemy of all law, all liberty, all morality, all religion.
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
I have an unshaken conviction that democracy can never be undermined if we maintain our library resources and a national intelligence capable of utilizing them.
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
