“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”

“First of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself - nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.”

“Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear.”

“We have learned that we cannot live alone, at peace; that our own well-being is dependent on the well-being of nations far away. We have learned that we must live as men, and not as ostriches nor as dogs in the manger. We have learned to be citizens of the world, members of the human community.”

“If we will not prepare to give all that we have and that all that we are to preserve Christian civilization in our land, we shall go to destruction.”

“Cooperation, which is the thing we must strive for today, begins where competition leaves off.”

“The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”
