The royalists of the economic order have conceded that political freedom was the business of the government, but they have maintained that economic slavery was nobody's business. They granted that the government could protect the citizen in his right to vote, but they denied that the government could do anything to protect the citizen in his right to work and his right to live. Today we stand committed to the proposition that freedom is no half-and-half affair. If the average citizen is guaranteed equal opportunity in the polling place, he must have equal opportunity in the market place.

Liberty requires opportunity to make a living--a living decent according to the standard of the time, a living which gives a man not only enough to live by, but something to live for.

In the field of world policy; I would dedicate this nation to the policy of the good neighbor.

Change is like fire- if uncontrolled, it will consume us.

Freedom of speech...Freedom of worship...Freedom from want...Freedom from fear.

I have an unshaken conviction that democracy can never be undermined if we maintain our library resources and a national intelligence capable of utilizing them.

We may not be able to prepare the future for our children, but we can at least prepare our children for the future.
