I am Franklin Delano Roosevelt, thirty-second President of the United States. I spoke to a nation with banks closed and breadlines long — I called forth hope, work, and the strength of millions to lift our country from despair.
Through the storms of the Depression and the fires of world war, I asked my fellow citizens for courage and unity, reminding them that fear is our only true enemy.
What I Leave Behind
- I proved that leadership must calm, not inflame.
- I showed that a free people, when joined in purpose, can overcome any crisis.
- I remind each generation: speak softly to fear, but boldly for freedom.
Hold faith in democracy, and never let fear chain your courage.
