More quotes by 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
Freedom to learn is the first necessity of guaranteeing that man himself shall be self reliant enough to be free.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I see an America whose rivers and valleys and lakes hills and streams and plains the mountains over our land and nature's wealth deep under the earth are protected as the rightful heritage of all the people.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or keep them.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Our security is not a matter of weapons alone. The arm that wields them must be strong, the eye that guides them clear, the will that directs them indomitable.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I call for effort, courage, sacrifice, devotion. Granting the love of freedom, all of these are possible. And the love of freedom is still fierce and steady in the nation today. June 10, 1940
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Rules are not necessarily sacred, principles are.
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
It is time to provide a smashing answer for those cynical men who say that a democracy cannot be honest, cannot be efficient.... We have in the darkest moments of our national trials retained our faith in our own ability to master our own destiny.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Great power involves great responsibility
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
I'm not the smartest fellow in the world, but I can sure pick smart colleagues.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I have no expectation of making a hit every time I come to bat.
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
All private plans, all private lives, have been in a sense repealed by an overriding public danger.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
You are, I am sure, aware that genuine popular support in the United States is required to carry out any Government policy, foreign or domestic. The American people make up their own minds and no governmental action can change it.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Better the occasional faults of a government that lives in a spirit of charity than the consistent omissions of a government frozen in the ice of its own indifference.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Democracy is not a static thing. It is an everlasting march.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
A serf-supporting and self-respecting democracy can plead no justification for the existence of child labor, no economic reason for chiseling workers' wages or stretching workers' hours.
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
