"The loneliest feeling in the world is..." - Quote by Franklin D Roosevelt

“History proves that dictatorships do not grow out of strong and successful governments, but out of weak and helpless ones. If by democratic methods people get a government strong enough to protect them from fear and starvation, their democracy succeeds; but if they do not, they grow impatient. Therefore, the only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over its government.”

“You are, I am sure, aware that genuine popular support in the United States is required to carry out any Government policy, foreign or domestic. The American people make up their own minds and no governmental action can change it.”

“I call for effort, courage, sacrifice, devotion. Granting the love of freedom, all of these are possible. And the love of freedom is still fierce and steady in the nation today. June 10, 1940”

“No one will ever get anywhere in this world unless he becomes a teacher, one who can show others how to do things.”

“I always believe leaders are readers, so you've got to read 30 minutes a day of something that's going to inspire you.”

“You could transfer Congress over to run Standard Oil or General Motors, and they would have both things bankrupt in two years.”

“My mother didn't get home until about seven most nights and, yes, there was a sense of being very alone after school. She gave me all the proper guidance and influences, but physically, she just couldn't be there.”

“It is a terrible thing to look over your shoulder when you are trying to lead - and find no one there.”

“We are born helpless. As soon as we are fully conscious we discover loneliness.”
