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

We must open our eyes and see...

We must open our eyes and see that modern civilization has become so complex and the lives of civilized men so interwoven with thelives of other men in other countries as to make it impossible to be in this world and out of it.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Almighty God, who hast given ...

Almighty God, who hast given us this good land for our heritage; We humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Where freedom of religion has...

Where freedom of religion has been attacked, the attack has come from sources opposed to democracy. Where democracy has been overthrown, the spirit of free worship has disappeared. And where religion and democracy have vanished, good faith and reason in international affairs have given way to strident ambition and brute force.

Sometimes the best way to keep peace in the family is to keep the members of the family apart for awhile.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Labor Day symbolizes our determination to achieve an economic freedom for the average man which will give his political freedom realty.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

To stand upon ramparts and die for our principles is heroic, but to sally forth to battle and win for our principles is something more than heroic.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

We have faith that future generations will know here, in the middle of the twentieth century, there came a time when men of good will found a way to unite, and produce, and fight to destroy the forces of ignorance, and intolerance, and slavery, and war.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

I sometimes think we consider...

I sometimes think we consider too much the good luck of the early bird and not enough the bad luck of the early worm.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Better the occasional faults ...

Better the occasional faults of a government that lives in a spirit of charity than the consistent omissions of a government frozen in the ice of its own indifference.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

The structure of world peace ...

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.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Let me make it clear that I d...

Let me make it clear that I do not assert that a President and the Congress must on all points agree with each other at all times. Many times in history there has been complete disagreement between the two branches of the Government, and in these disagreements sometimes the Congress has won and sometimes the President has won. But during the Administration of the present President we have had neither agreement nor a clear-cut battle.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

The moment a mere numerical s...

The moment a mere numerical superiority by either states or voters in this country proceeds to ignore the needs and desires of the minority, and for their own selfish purpose or advancement, hamper or oppress that minority, or debar them in any way from equal privileges and equal rights-that moment will mark the failure of our constitutional system.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

But the challenge is always t...

But the challenge is always the same - whether each generation facing its own circumstances can summon the practical devotion to attain and retain that greatest good for the greatest number which this government of the people was created to ensure.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

To return to higher standards...

To return to higher standards of living we must abandon the false prophets and seek new leaders of our own choosing.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

No greater blessing could com...

No greater blessing could come to our land today than a revival of the spirit of religion. I doubt if there is any problem in the world today -- social, political, or economic -- that would not find happy solution if approached in the spirit of the Sermon on the Mount.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

We must be the great arsenal ...

We must be the great arsenal of democracy. For us this is an emergency as serious as war itself. We must apply ourselves to our task with the same resolution, the same sense of urgency, the same spirit of patriotism and sacrifice as we would show were we at war.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

The True conservative seeks t...

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 Roosevelt 593 quotes

We have learned that we canno...

We have learned that we cannot live alone, at peace; that our own well-being is dependent on the well-being of other nations far away. We have learned that we must live as men, not as ostriches, nor as dogs in the manger.

Once you've spent two years trying to wiggle one toe, everything is in proportion.
