No democracy can long survive which does not accept as fundamental to its very existence the recognition of the rights of minorities.

We cannot always build a future for our youth, but we can always build our youth for the future.

A government can be no better than the public opinion which sustains it.

We have always known that heedless self-interest was bad morals; we know now that it is bad economics. Out of the collapse of a prosperity whose builders boasted their practicality has come the conviction that in the long run economic morality pays.

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

In the final analysis, the progress of our civilization will be retarded if any large body of citizens falls behind. Without the help of thousands of others, any one of us would die, naked and starved.

We have always known that heedless self interest was bad morals, we now know that it is bad economics.
