I want to preach a new doctrine. A complete separation of business and government.

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.

As Americans, we go forward, in the service of our country, by the will of God.

In my Inaugural I laid down the simple proposition that nobody is going to starve in this country. It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By "business" I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level - I mean the wages of decent living.

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

People acting together as a group can accomplish things which no individual acting alone could ever hope to bring about.

The value of love will always be stronger than the value of hate. Any nation or group of nations which employs hatred eventually is torn to pieces by hatred.
