Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Citáty o životě

„Nemůžeme být spokojeni, ať už je všeobecná životní úroveň sebevyšší, pokud část našich občanů – ať už je to jedna třetina, pětina nebo desetina – trpí nedostatkem jídla či oblečení, nemá střechu nad hlavou či žije v nejistotě.“

Originál: (en) We cannot be content, no matter how high that general standard of living may be, if some fraction of our people—whether it be one-third or one-fifth or one-tenth- is ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill housed, and insecure.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Citáty anglicky

“No democracy can long survive which does not accept as fundamental to its very existence the recognition of the rights of its minorities.”

Letter http://books.google.com/books?id=MyfeAwAAQBAJ&q=%22No+democracy+can+long+survive+which+does+not+accept+as+fundamental+to+its+very+existence+the+recognition+of+the+rights+of+its+minorities%22&pg=PA401#v=onepage to Walter Francis White, president of the NAACP (25 June 1938)
1930s

“We defend and we build a way of life, not for America alone, but for all mankind.”

Fireside chat on national defense (May 26, 1940), reported in The Public Papers and Addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1940 (1941), p. 240
1940s

“The forests are the "lungs" of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.”

1930s
Kontext: Forests require many years to mature; consequently the long point of view is necessary if the forests are to be maintained for the good of our country. He who would hold this long point of view must realize the need of subordinating immediate profits for the sake of the future public welfare. … A forest is not solely so many thousand board feet of lumber to be logged when market conditions make it profitable. It is an integral part of our natural land covering, and the most potent factor in maintaining Nature's delicate balance in the organic and inorganic worlds. In his struggle for selfish gain, man has often needlessly tipped the scales so that Nature's balance has been destroyed, and the public welfare has usually been on the short-weighted side. Such public necessities, therefore, must not be destroyed because there is profit for someone in their destruction. The preservation of the forests must be lifted above mere dollars and cents considerations. … The handling of our forests as a continuous, renewable resource means permanent employment and stability to our country life.
The forests are also needed for mitigating extreme climatic fluctuations, holding the soil on the slopes, retaining the moisture in the ground, and controlling the equable flow of water in our streams. The forests are the "lungs" of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people. Truly, they make the country more livable.
There is a new awakening to the importance of the forests to the country, and if you foresters remain true to your ideals, the country may confidently trust its most precious heritage to your safe-keeping.

“If you treat people right they will treat you right — ninety percent of the time.”

As quoted in The Roosevelt I Knew (1946) by Frances Perkins, p. 5

“On this tenth day of June, 1940, the hand that held the dagger has struck it into the back of its neighbor.”

Noting Italy's declaration of war against France on that day, during the commencement address at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville (June 10, 1940); reported in The Public Papers and Addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1940 (1941), p. 263

“When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.”

The earliest citation yet found does not attribute this to Roosevelt, but presents it as a piece of anonymous piece folk-wisdom: "When one reaches the end of his rope, he should tie a knot in it and hang on" ( LIFE magazine (3 April 1919), p. 585 http://hdl.handle.net/2027/wu.89063018576?urlappend=%3Bseq=65).

“The Nation that destroys its soil destroys itself.”

Letter to all State Governors on a Uniform Soil Conservation Law (26 February 1937) http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=15373); this statement has sometimes been paraphrased and prefixed to an earlier FDR statement of 29 January 1935 to read: "A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people." Though it approximates 2 separate statements of FDR, no original document in precisely this form has been located.
1930s

“We must be the great arsenal of Democracy.”

Fireside Chat on National Security, Washington, D.C. (29 December 1940)
