Franklin D. Roosevelt Quotes

"There's nothing to fear but fear itself""When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on""Confidence... thrives on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them it cannot live.""If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships, the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace.""It is a terrible thing to look over your shoulder when you are trying to lead — and find no one there.""We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.""Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds.""The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.""In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.""Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort."
