More quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt
More than just an end to war, we want an end to the beginnings of all wars.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
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.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The real safeguard of democracy is education.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We must save the Constitution from the [Supreme] Court and the Court from itself.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Finally, in our progress toward a resumption of work we require two safeguards against a return of the evils of the old order: there must be a strict supervision of all banking and credits and investments there must be an end to speculation with other people's money, and there must be provision for an adequate but sound currency.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our Nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
It is better to swallow words than to have to eat them later.
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
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
We defend and we build a way of life, not for America alone, but for all mankind.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I've fired my last shot. I think I should have another round in my belt.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
To stand upon ramparts and die for our principles is heroic, but to sally forth to battle and win for our principles is something more than heroic.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I have seen children starving. I have seen the agony of mothers and wives. I hate war.
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
A reactionary is a somnambulist walking backwards.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We cannot read the history of our rise and development as a nation, without reckoning with the place the Bible has occupied in shaping the advances of the Republic. Where we have been the truest and most consistent in obeying its precepts, we have attained the greatest measure of contentment and prosperity.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I have a terrific headache.
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
