Franklin D. Roosevelt — "The whole purpose of the New Deal was to make America safe for democracy."

"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."

"The economic ills of the world are not incurable. They are the result of the failure of men to use the vast resources of the earth for the benefit of all."

"Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education."

"The greatest primary task is to put people to work. This is no unsolvable problem if we face it wisely and courageously."
