More quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt
The United States Constitution has proved itself the most marvelously elastic compilation of rules of government ever written.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Beware of that profound enemy of the free enterprise system who pays lip-service to free competition, but also labels every antitrust prosecution as a persecution.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The True conservative seeks to protect the system of private property and free enterprise by correcting such injustices and inequalities as arise from it. The most serious threat to our institutions comes from those who refuse to face the need for change. Liberalism becomes the protection for the far-sighted conservative.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
It takes a long time to bring the past up to the present.
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
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
The virtues are lost in self-interest as rivers are lost in the sea.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Older men declare war. But it is youth that must fight and die. And it is youth who must inherit the tribulation, the sorrow and the triumphs that are the aftermath of war.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
There is a mysterious cycle in human events. To some generations much is given. Of other generations much is expected. This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Frankly, I do not know how to effect a permanency in American foreign policy.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
People die, but books never die. No man and no force can abolish memory.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I have seen war ... I hate war.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
