Remember you are just an extra in everyone else's play.

There is a mysterious cycle in human events. To some generations much is given. Of other generations much is expected. This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Let us never forget that gove...

Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

I 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

Our national determination to keep free of foreign wars and foreign entanglements cannot prevent us from feeling deep concern when ideals and principles that we have cherished are challenged.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

In our seeking for economic and political progress, we all go up - or else we all go down.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

If we can boondoggle ourselves out of this depression, that word is going to be enshrined in the hearts of the American people for years to come.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Prosperous farmers mean more employment, more prosperity for the workers and the business men of every industrial area in the whole country.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

But while they prate of econo...

But while they prate of economic laws, men and women are starving. We must lay hold of the fact that economic laws are not made by nature. They are made by human beings.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

Here is my principle: Taxes shall be levied according to ability to pay. That is the only American principle.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

We continue to recognize the greater ability of some to earn more than others. But we do assert that the ambition of the individual to obtain for him a proper security is an ambition to be preferred to the appetite for great wealth and great power.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

I believe that in every country the people themselves are more peaceably and liberally inclined than their governments.

It takes a long time to bring the past up to the present.

It is an unfortunate human failing that a full pocketbook often groans more loudly than an empty stomach.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power. Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power. In vain they seek to hide behind the flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the flag and the Constitution stand for.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

No democracy can long survive...

No democracy can long survive which does not accept as fundamental to its very existence the recognition of the rights of minorities.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

The principle on which this c...

The principle on which this country was founded and by which it has always been governed is that Americanism is a matter of the mind and heart; Americanism is not, and never was, a matter of race or ancestry.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

More striking still, it appea...

More striking still, it appeared that, if the process of concentration goes on at the same rate, at the end of another century we shall have all American industry controlled by a dozen corporations and run by perhaps a hundred men. Put plainly, we are steering a steady course toward economic oligarchy, if we are not there already.

Franklin Roosevelt 593 quotes

No business which depends for...

No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country... By living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level - I mean the wages of decent living.
