We know that there are chiselers. At the bottom of every case of criticism and obstruction we have found some selfish interest, some private axe to grind.

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

We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American Eagle in order to feather their own nests.

Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.

True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.

Never underestimate a man who overestimates himself.

People acting together as a group can accomplish things which no individual acting alone could ever hope to bring about.

Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

A government run by billionaires for billionaires is an affront to freedom, morality, and humanity.

Who is the poorest man in the world? I tell you, the poorest man I know of is the man who has nothing but money.

Some people wait so long for their ship to come in, their pier collapses.

You didn't have a choice about the parents you inherited, but you do have a choice about the kind of parent you will be.

When you're up against the clock and break-outs are happening, all the time, and it's literally rushing in on you, you do what you have to do.
