Many causes produce war. There are ancient hatreds, turbulent frontiers, the "legacy of old forgotten, far-off things, and battles long ago." There are new-born fanaticisms. Convictions on the part of certain peoples that they have become the unique depositories of ultimate truth and right.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

I am particularly interested ...

I am particularly interested in the indications that the people seem to understand and approve the necessity of pursuing the course that will prevent a further effort on the part of the German peoples to continue the struggle for world domination, even though they are thoroughly beaten in this war.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Your profits are going to be ...

Your profits are going to be cut down to a reasonably low level by taxation. Your income will be subject to higher taxes. Indeed in these days, when every available dollar should go to the war effort, I do not think that any American citizen should have a net income in excess of $25,000 per year after payment of taxes.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

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 Roosevelt 593 quotes

The ultimate victory of tomorrow is democracy, and through democracy with education, for no people in all the world can be kept eternally ignorant or eternally enslaved.

There's nothing to fear but a wide receiver who can run a 100-yard dash in under 10 seconds.

A Liberal is a man who uses his legs and his hands at the behest-at the command-of his head.

I regard reduction in Federal spending as one of the most important issues in this campaign. In my opinion it is the most direct and effective contribution that Government can make to business.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

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 Roosevelt 593 quotes

We know that enduring peace cannot be bought at the cost of other people's freedom.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

More than just an end to war, we want an end to the beginnings of all wars.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Freedom of speech is of no us...

Freedom of speech is of no use to a man who has nothing to say and freedom of worship is of no use to a man who has lost his God.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Private enterprise is ceasing...

Private enterprise is ceasing to be free enterprise. Private enterprise, indeed, became too private. It became privileged enterprise, not free enterprise.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Finally, in our progress towa...

Finally, in our progress toward a resumption of work we require two safeguards against a return of the evils of the old order: there must be a strict supervision of all banking and credits and investments; there must be an end to speculation with other people's money, and there must be provision for an adequate but sound currency.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

The democratic aspiration is ...

The democratic aspiration is no mere recent phase in human history. It is human history.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

A great man left a watchword ...

A great man left a watchword that we can well repeat: "There is no indispensable man"

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

If the Nation is living withi...

If the Nation is living within its income, its credit is good. If, in some crises, it lives beyond its income for a year or two, it can usually borrow temporarily at reasonable rates. But if, like a spendthrift, it throws discretion to the winds, and is willing to make no sacrifice at all in spending; if it extends its taxing to the limit of the peoples power to pay and continues to pile up deficits, then it is on the road to bankruptcy.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Almighty God: Our sons, pride...

Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our Nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

I am perhaps being a bit facetious but if some of my good Baptist brethren in Georgia had done a little preaching from the pulpitagainst the K.K.K. in the '20s, I would have a little more genuine American respect for their Christianity!

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

The country needs and, unless...

The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it; if it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. The millions who are in want will not stand by silently forever while the things to satisfy their needs are within easy reach.
