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
How many people in the United States do you think will be willing to go to war to free Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania?
Franklin D. Roosevelt
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
To some generations much is given. Of other generations, much is expected.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
If you treat people right they will treat you right... ninety percent of the time.
