FDR’s Quotes
Nobody will ever deprive
the American people of the
right to vote except the
American people
themselves and the only
way they could do this is
by not voting.
A conservative is a man with
two perfectly good legs who,
however, has never learned
how to walk forward
Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the
thrill of creative effort
