A great man left a watchword that we can well repeat: "There is no indispensable man"
Franklin D. RooseveltAll private plans, all private lives, have been in a sense repealed by an overriding public danger.
Franklin D. RooseveltThe essential qualities of a true Pan Americanism must be the same as those which constitute a good neighbor; namely, mutual understanding, and through such understanding, a sympathetic appeciation of the other's point of view. It is only in this manner that we can hope to build up a system of which confidence, friendship, and good will are the cornerstones.
Franklin D. RooseveltMy own party can succeed at the polls only so long as it continues to be the party of militant liberalism.
Franklin D. RooseveltThe gains in education are never really lost. Books may be burned and cities sacked, but truth, like the yearning for freedom, lives in the hearts of humble men.
Franklin D. RooseveltOur policy is to give all possible material aid to the nations that still resist aggression across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. And we make it abundantly clear that we intend to commit none of the fatal errors of appeasement. We have the thought that in this nation of many states we have found the way in which men of many racial origins may live together in peace. If the human race as a whole is to survive, the world must find a way by which men and nations may live together in peace. We cannot accept the doctrine that war must be forever a part of man's destiny.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
