Franklin D. Roosevelt

American President
(1882-1945)

Here is my principle: Taxes shall be levied according to ability to pay. That is the only American principle.

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.

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

I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made.
