It's a recession when your neighbor loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours.

America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.

It's a recession when your neighbor loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours.

Selfishness and greed, individual or national, cause most of our troubles.

The only thing new in the world is the history you do not know.

Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear."

[Special Message to the Congress on the Internal Security of the United States, August 8, 1950]
