The people of America are in agreement in defending their liberties at any cost, and the first line of that defense lies in the protection of economic security.

I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people.

I suggest a nationwide reading of the Holy Scriptures during the period from Thanksgiving Day to Christmas.

[D]rilling and arming, when carried on on a national scale, excite whole populations to frenzies which end in war.

Those (who) seek to establish systems of Government based on the regimentation of all Human Beings by a handful of individual rulers...call this a new order. It is not new and it is not order.

Frankly, I do not like the idea of conversations to define the term "unconditional surrender."The German people can have dinned into their ears what I said in my Christmas Eve speech--in effect, that we have no thought of destroying the German people and that we want them to live through the generations like other European peoples on condition, of course, that they get rid of their present philosophy of conquest.

We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
