The presidency is not merely an administrative office...It is pre-eminently a place of moral leadership.

We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon.

Your profits are going to be cut down to a reasonably low level by taxation. Your income will be subject to higher taxes. Indeed in these days, when every available dollar should go to the war effort, I do not think that any American citizen should have a net income in excess of $25,000 per year after payment of taxes.

The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it; if it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. The millions who are in want will not stand by silently forever while the things to satisfy their needs are within easy reach.

Since I am used to speaking in public, I know that it is useless.

For three long years I have been going up and down this country preaching that government . . . costs too much. I shall not stop that preaching.

The Democratic Party will live and continue to receive the support of the majority of Americans just so long as it remains a liberal party.
