Franklin D. Roosevelt — "I never let them guess what I think until I’m ready."

"Freedom from fear, freedom from want, freedom of speech, freedom of religion—these are the four freedoms."

"I have seen war. I have seen war on land and sea. I have seen blood running in the streets. I have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. I have seen dead in the mud. I have seen cities destroyed. …"

"The tools of government are not enough. We must have the spirit of the people."

"We cannot be content, no matter how high the standard of living in America, if that standard is based on the exploitation of the human family in other parts of the world."

"There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still."
