The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.

I love it--I just love it.

The ablest man I ever met is the man you think you are.

That, in its essence, is Fascism — ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

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

The whole world is one neighborhood.
