More quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt
No greater blessing could come to our land today than a revival of the spirit of religion. I doubt if there is any problem in the world today -- social, political, or economic -- that would not find happy solution if approached in the spirit of the Sermon on the Mount.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
There is much to be said against the climate on the coast of British Columbia and Alaska yet, I believe that the scenery of one good day will compensate the tourists who will go there in increasing numbers.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Every man has a right to life, and this means that he has also a right to make a comfortable living.
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
The function of Government must be to favor no small group at the expense of its duty to protect the rights of personal freedom and of private property of all its citizens.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Your profits are going to be cut down to a reasonably low level by taxation. Your income will be subject to higher taxes. Indeed in these days, when every available dollar should go to the war effort, I do not think that any American citizen should have a net income in excess of $25,000 per year after payment of taxes.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
This nation asks for action, and action now.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
People die, but books never die.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We must be the great arsenal of Democracy.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American Eagle in order to feather their own nests.
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
If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I hope that your committee will not permit doubt as to constitutionality, however reasonable, to block the suggested legislation
Franklin D. Roosevelt
You'll have to learn that public life takes a lot of sweat but it doesn't need to worry you. You won't always be right, but you mustn't suffer from being wrong. That's what kills people like us.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We count, in the future as in the past, on the driving power of individual initiative, on the incentive of fair private profit, strengthened of course with the acceptance of those obligations to the public interest which rest upon us all.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
One thing is sure. We have to do something. We have to do the best we know how at the moment... If it doesn't turn out right, we can modify it as we go along.
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
It is better to swallow words than to have to eat them later.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished.
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
