An election cannot give a country a firm sense of direction if it has two or more national parties which merely have different names, but are as alike in their principals and aims as two peas in the same pod.

I do not believe in communism any more than you do but there is nothing wrong with the Communists in this country. Several of the best friends I have got are Communists.

My own party can succeed at the polls only so long as it continues to be the party of militant liberalism.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

For three long years I have been going up and down this country preaching that government . . . costs too much. I shall not stop that preaching.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Taxes are paid in the sweat of...

Taxes are paid in the sweat of every man who labors. If those taxes are excessive, they are reflected in idle factories, in tax-sold farms, and in hordes of hungry people, tramping the streets and seeking jobs in vain. Our workers may never see a tax bill, but they pay. They pay in deductions from wages, in increased cost of what they buy, or in unemployment throughout the land.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

To bring about government by o...

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.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

We want a Supreme Court which will do justice under the Constitution - not over it. In our courts we want a government of laws and not of men.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

There has been one persistent theme through all Axis propaganda. This theme has been that Americans are admittedly rich, that Americans have considerable industrial power - but that Americans are soft and decadent, that they cannot and will not unite and work and fight. ... Let them tell that to the Marines!

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

We look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expression. The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way. The third is freedom from want. The fourth is freedom from fear.
