There can be little doubt that in many ways the story of bridge building is the story of civilisation. By it we can readily measure an important part of a people's progress.

'Appeasement' is the policy of feeding your friends to a crocodile, one at a time, in hopes that the crocodile will eat you last.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

The gains in education are never really lost. Books may be burned and cities sacked, but truth, like the yearning for freedom, lives in the hearts of humble men.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Books can not be killed by fire. People die, but books never die. No man and no force can abolish memory... In this war, we know, books are weapons. And it is a part of your dedication always to make them weapons for man's freedom.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

We have always known that heedless self interest was bad morals, we now know that it is bad economics.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

A war of ideas can no more be ...

A war of ideas can no more be won without books than a naval war can be won without ships. Books, like ships, have the toughest armor, the longest cruising range, and mount the most powerful guns.

We are going to tax and tax, spend and spend, elect and elect.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

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.

Those (who) seek to establish systems of Government based on the regimentation of all Human Beings by a handful of individual rulers...call this a new order. It is not new and it is not order.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Let us not confuse objectives ...

Let us not confuse objectives with methods. Too many so-called leaders of the nation fail to see the forest because of the trees. Too many of them fail to recognize the vital necessity of planning for definite objectives. True leadership calls for the setting forth of the objectives and the rallying of public opinion in support of these objectives.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Do not confuse objectives with...

Do not confuse objectives with methods. When the nation becomes substantially united in favor of planning the broad objectives of civilization, then true leadership must unite thought behind definite methods.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

We need enthusiasm, imagination and the ability to face facts, even unpleasant ones, bravely. We need to correct, by drastic means if necessary, the faults in our economic system from which we now suffer. We need the courage of the young. Yours is not the task of making your way in the world, but the task of remaking the world which you will find before you. May every one of us be granted the courage, the faith and the vision to give the best that is in us to that remaking!

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

A program whose basic thesis is, not that the system of free enterprise for profit has failed in this generation, but that it has not yet been tried!

In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

The structure of world peace cannot be the work of one man or one party or one nation. It must be a peace which rests on the cooperative effort of the whole world.

The first twelve years are the hardest.

Dealing with the State Department is like watching an elephant become pregnant.

The Democratic Party will live and continue to receive the support of the majority of Americans just so long as it remains a liberal party.

I believe that we are going to get along very well with him [Josef Stalin] and the Russian people - very well indeed.

It is better to swallow words than to have to eat them later.
