"Above all, try something..." - Quote by Franklin D Roosevelt

“That, in its essence, is Fascism — ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.”

“To stand upon ramparts and die for our principles is heroic, but to sally forth to battle and win for our principles is something more than heroic.”

“Do not confuse objectives with methods. When the nation becomes substantially united in favor of planning the broad objectives of civilization, then true leadership must unite thought behind definite methods.”

“You must master the habit of procrastination and eliminate it from your wake-up. This habit of putting off until tomorrow that which you should have done last week or last year or a score of years ago is gnawing at the very vitals of your being and you can accomplish nothing until you throw it off.”

“As life developed, I faced each problem as it came along. As my activities and work broadened and reached out, I never tried to shirk. I tried never to evade an issue. When I found I had something to do--I just did it.”

“Each act is an island in time, to be judged on its own.”

“He who humbles himself wants to be exalted.”

“If people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as you keep working at it and don't back down.”

“When on the brink of complete discouragement, success is discerning that...the line between failure and success is so fine that often a single extra effort is all that is needed to bring victory out of defeat.”
