“In the future days,
which we seek to make secure,
we look forward to a world founded upon
four essential human freedoms.
The first is freedom of speech and expression–
everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God
in his own way–everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want
–which, translated into world terms,
means economic understandings which will secure
to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants
-everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear
–which, translated into world terms,
means a world-wide reduction of armaments
to such a point and in such a thorough fashion
that no nation will be in a position to commit
an act of physical aggression against any neighbor
–anywhere in the world.”
~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
“Let us never forget
that government is ourselves
and not an alien power over us.
The ultimate rulers of our democracy
are not a President and Senators
and Congressmen and Government officials
but the voters of this country.”
~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
“It isn’t sufficient just to want.
You’ve got to ask yourself
what you are going to do
to get the things you want.”
~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
“We must scrupulously guard
the civil rights and civil liberties of all our citizens,
whatever their background.
We must remember that any oppression,
any injustice, any hatred,
is a wedge designed to attack our civilization.”
~ Franklin D.Roosevelt
“No business which depends for existence
on paying less than living wages to its workers
has any right to continue in this country”
~ Franklin D.Roosevelt
“It’s a terrible thing
to look over your shoulder
when you are trying to lead
and find no one there”
~ Franklin D.Roosevelt

but I do wish there was less immaturity
in political thinking.”
Thought for Today
“I think we consider too much
the good luck of the early bird
and not enough the bad luck
of the early worm.”
“Competition has been shown to be useful
up to a certain point and no further,
but cooperation,
which is the thing we must strive for today,
begins where competition leaves off.”
Earth Thought for The Day
“A nation that destroys its soils
destroys it self.
Forests are the lungs of our land,
purifying the air and
giving fresh strength to our people.”
