30 January: Franklin D Roosevelt Quotes

Franklin D Roosevelt was born on this date in 1882. 10 quotes from him:

  1. We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American Eagle in order to feather their own nests.

  2. Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fibre of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.

  3. Do Something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else.

  4. Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth.

  5. In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.

  6. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

  7. Calm seas never made a good sailor.

  8. Never underestimate a man who overestimates himself.

  9. It is better to swallow words than to have to eat them later.

  10. What America needs now is a drink.




I also write novels and short stories. If you like superheroes, psychic detectives and general weirdness you might enjoy them.
