"In our democracy officers of the government..." - Quote by Franklin D Roosevelt

“We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.... [The organized moneyed people] are unanimous in their hate for me and I welcome their hatred.... I should like to have it said of my second administration that these forces met their master.”

“This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper.”

“If in other lands the press and books and literature of all kinds are censored, we must redouble our efforts here to keep them free”

“We the people tell the government what to do, it doesn't tell us.”

“Life in freedom is not easy, and democracy is not perfect.”

“That is why the Aethenian law makers so decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people. Confident that with your help, man will be what he was born to be, free and independent.”

“Confidence is everywhere the parent of despotism. Free government is founded in jealousy, and not in confidence.”

“The Army, as usual, are without pay; and a great part of the soldiery without shirts; and though the patience of them is equally threadbare, the States seem perfectly indifferent to their cries.”

“I join cordially in admiring and revering the Constitution of the United States, the result of the collected wisdom of our country. That wisdom has committed to us the important task of proving by example that a government, if organized in all its parts on the Representative principle unadulterated by the infusion of spurious elements, if founded, not in the fears & follies of man, but on his reason, on his sense of right, on the predominance of the social over his dissocial passions, may be so free as to restrain him in no moral right, and so firm as to protect him from every moral wrong.”
