More quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt
Appeasement is the policy of feeding your friends to a crocodile, one at a time, in hopes that the crocodile will eat you last.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We have learned the simple truth, as Emerson said that the only way to have a friend is to be one. We can gain no lasting peace if we approach it with suspicion or mistrust or with fear.
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
The Nazi danger to our Western world has long ceased to be a mere possibility. The danger is here now--not only from a military enemy but from an enemy of all law, all liberty, all morality, all religion.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The very nature and purposes of Government make it impossible for administrative officials to represent fully or to bind the employer in mutual discussions with Government employee organizations.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

Franklin D. Roosevelt
Never before have we had so little time in which to do so much.
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

Franklin D. Roosevelt
You sometimes find something good in the lunatic fringe. In fact, we have got as part of our social and economic government today a whole lot of things which in my boyhood were considered lunatic fringe, and yet they are now part of everyday life.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
A point has been reached where the peoples of the Americas must take cognizance of growing ill-will, of marked trends toward aggression, of increasing armaments, of shortening tempers--a situation which has in it many of the elements that lead to the tragedy of general war.... Peace is threatened by those who seek selfish power.
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
We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Peace, like war, can succeed only where there is a will to enforce it, and where there is available power to enforce it.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Democracy alone, of all forms of government, enlists the full force of men's enlightened will.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
All free peoples are deeply impressed by the courage and steadfastness of the Greek nation.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
It has always seemed to me that the best symbol of common sense was a bridge.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Eternal truths will be neither true nor eternal unless they have fresh meaning for every new social situation.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I've fired my last shot. I think I should have another round in my belt.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
