More quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt
Let us move forward with strong and active faith.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
There should be no bitterness or hate where the sole thought is the welfare of the United States of America. No man can occupy the office of President without realizing that he is President of all the people.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The hand that held the dagger has struck it into the back of its neighbor.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Freedom of speech is of no use to a man who has nothing to say and freedom of worship is of no use to a man who has lost his God.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Almighty God, who hast given us this good land for our heritage We humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Liberty requires opportunity to make a living--a living decent according to the standard of the time, a living which gives a man not only enough to live by, but something to live for.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
But the challenge is always the same - whether each generation facing its own circumstances can summon the practical devotion to attain and retain that greatest good for the greatest number which this government of the people was created to ensure.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
If you treat people right they will treat you right... ninety percent of the time.
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
The core of our defense is the faith we have in the institutions we defend.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
To a great extent the achievements of invention, of mechanical and of artistic creation, must of necessity, and rightly, be individual rather than governmental. It is the self-reliant pioneer in every enterprise who beats the path along which American civilization has marched. Such individual effort is the glory of America.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Government cannot close its eyes to the pollution of waters, to the erosion of soil, to the slashing of forests any more than it can close its eyes to the need for slum clearance and schools.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Our government is based on the belief that a people can be both strong and free, that civilized men need no restraint but that imposed by themselves against abuse of freedom.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I consider it a public duty to answer falsifications with facts. I will not pretend that I find this an unpleasant duty. I am an old campaigner, and I love a good fight.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Failure is not an American habit.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Do Something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
In our democracy officers of the government are the servants, and never the masters of the people.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The most difficult place in the world to get a clear and open perspective of the country as a whole is Washington.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We defend and we build a way of life, not for America alone, but for all mankind.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I love it--I just love it.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
