More quotes by 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 defend and we build a way of life, not for America alone, but for all mankind.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
We have always known that heedless self interest was bad morals, we now know that it is bad economics.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Since I am used to speaking in public, I know that it is useless.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
These are bad days for all of us who remember always that when real world forces come into conflict, the final result is never as dark as we mortals guess it in very difficult days.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
In the final analysis, the progress of our civilization will be retarded if any large body of citizens falls behind. Without the help of thousands of others, any one of us would die, naked and starved.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
To stand upon ramparts and die for our principles is heroic, but to sally forth to battle and win for our principles is something more than heroic.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I have a terrific pain in the back of my head.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The ablest man I ever met is the man you think you are.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
It takes a long time to bring the past up to the present.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The real safeguard of democracy is education.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The American people want their government to act, and not merely to talk, whenever and wherever there is a threat to world peace.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The frontier of America is on the Rhine.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The future lies with those wise political leaders who realize that the great public is interested more in Government than in politics. The growing independence of voters, after all, has been proven by the votes in every Presidential election since my childhood and the tendency, frankly, is on the increase.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Where freedom of religion has been attacked, the attack has come from sources opposed to democracy. Where democracy has been overthrown, the spirit of free worship has disappeared. And where religion and democracy have vanished, good faith and reason in international affairs have given way to strident ambition and brute force.
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
If we do not halt this steady process of building commissions and regulatory bodies and the special legislation like huge inverted pyramids over every one of the simple constitutional provisions, we shall soon be spending many billions of dollars more.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned how to walk forward.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
