The loneliest feeling in the ...

The loneliest feeling in the world is when you think you are leading the parade and turn to find that no one is following you. No president who badly misguesses public opinion will last very long.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Men and nature must work hand in hand. The throwing out of balance of the resources of nature throws out of balance also the lives of men.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

The only thing we have to fear is a giant wheelchair-crushing squid. Well... uh... actually, I guess that's the only thing I have to fear.

Dec. 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.

Liberty requires opportunity ...

Liberty requires opportunity to make a living--a living decent according to the standard of the time, a living which gives a man not only enough to live by, but something to live for.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Unless the peace that follows...

Unless the peace that follows recognizes that the whole world is one neighborhood and does justice to the whole human race, the germs of another world war will remain as a constant threat to mankind.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

The true conservative is the man who has a real concern for injustices and takes thought against the day of reckoning.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Beware of that profound enemy...

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 Roosevelt 593 quotes

Every man has a right to life...

Every man has a right to life, and this means that he has also a right to make a comfortable living.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

It [concentration of wealth and power] has been a menace to . . . American democracy.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Happiness lies not in the mer...

Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

The hopes of the Republic cannot forever tolerate either undeserved poverty or self-serving wealth.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Democracy can thrive only whe...

Democracy can thrive only when it enlists the devotion of those whom Lincoln called the common people. Democracy can hold that devotion only when it adequately respects their dignity by so ordering society as to assure to the masses of men and women reasonable security and hope for themselves and for their children.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

The public schools shall be free from sectarian influences and, above all, free from any attitude of hostility to the adherents of any particular creed.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Happiness lies not in the mer...

Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. The joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits. These dark days will be worth all they cost us if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered unto but to minister to ourselves and to our fellow men.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

The royalists of the economic...

The royalists of the economic order have conceded that political freedom was the business of the government, but they have maintained that economic slavery was nobody's business. They granted that the government could protect the citizen in his right to vote, but they denied that the government could do anything to protect the citizen in his right to work and his right to live. Today we stand committed to the proposition that freedom is no half-and-half affair. If the average citizen is guaranteed equal opportunity in the polling place, he must have equal opportunity in the market place.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

As Commander-in-Chief, I take...

As Commander-in-Chief, I take pleasure in commending the reading of the Bible to all who serve in the Armed Forces of the United States. Throughout the centuries, men of many faiths and diverse origins have found in the Sacred Book words of wisdom, counsel, and inspiration. It is a fountain of strength...an aid in attaining the highest aspiration of the human soul.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Against naked force the only ...

Against naked force the only possible defense is naked force. The aggressor makes the rules for such a war; the defenders have no alternative but matching destruction with more destruction, slaughter with greater slaughter.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

It seems to me that the dedic...

It seems to me that the dedication of a library is an act of faith. To bring together the resources of the past and to house them in buildings where they will be preserved for the use of men and women in the future, a nation must believe in three things. It must believe in the past. it must believe in the future. It must, above all, believe in the capacity of its own people so to learn from the past that they can gain in judgment in creating their own future.

Eternal truths will be neither true nor eternal unless they have fresh meaning for every new social situation.
