We do not see faith, hope, and charity as unattainable ideals, but we use them as stout supports of a nation fighting the fight for freedom in a modern civilization.

If in other lands the press and books and literature of all kinds are censored, we must redouble our efforts here to keep them free

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.

We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon.

Government cannot close its eyes to the pollution of waters, to the erosion of soil, to the slashing of forests any more than it can close its eyes to the need for slum clearance and schools.

The structure of world peace cannot be the work of one man or one party or one nation. It must be a peace which rests on the cooperative effort of the whole world.

It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
