Too often in recent history liberal governments have been wrecked on rocks of loose fiscal policy.

Labor Day symbolizes our determination to achieve an economic freedom for the average man which will give his political freedom realty.

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.

Is the United States going to decide, are the people of this country going to decide that their Federal Government shall in the future have no right under any implied power or any court-approved power to enter into a solution of a national economic problem, but that that national economic problem must be decided only by the States?... We thought we were solving it, and now it has been thrown right straight in our faces. We have been relegated to the horse-and-buggy definition of interstate commerce.

They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate.

I am neither bitter nor cynical but I do wish there was less immaturity in political thinking.
