"Sometimes the best way to keep peace..." - Quote by Franklin D Roosevelt

“New ideas can be good and bad, just the same as old ones.”

“Rules are not necessarily sacred, principles are.”

“Peace, like charity, begins at home.”

“To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power. Or the climbing, falling colors of a rainbow.”

“I never know what to get my father for his birthday. I gave him a hundred dollars and said, 'Buy yourself something that will make your life easier.' So he went out and bought a present for my mother.”

“This past Thanksgiving, my father was at the farm, and I had all 11 dogs in the house with a father who never allowed dogs in the house. And he got up to leave the table and came back and Solomon was in his chair. And he says, "This dog is in my chair." And I said, "It's the other way around, you're sitting in his chair."”

“The United States must be neutral in fact as well as in name.... We must be impartial in thought as well as in actiona nationthat neither sits in judgment upon others nor is disturbed in her own counsels and which keeps herself fit and free to do what is honest and disinterested and truly serviceable for the peace of the world.”

“I had been anxious and depressed for years and suddenly I was deeply at peace.”

“The idea of achieving security through national armament is, at the present state of military technique, a disastrous illusion.”
