The loneliest feeling in the world is when you think you are leading the parade and turn to find that no one is following you. No president who badly misguesses public opinion will last very long.
Franklin D. RooseveltAll private plans, all private lives, have been in a sense repealed by an overriding public danger.
Franklin D. RooseveltHostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger. With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph, so help us God.
Franklin D. RooseveltWe have always known that heedless self interest was bad morals, we now know that it is bad economics.
Franklin D. RooseveltWe all know that books burn, yet we have the greater knowledge that books cannot be killed by fire. People die, but books never die. No man and no force can put thought in a concentration camp forever. No man and no force can take from the world the books that embody man's eternal fight against tyranny of every kind.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
