Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"We need action to get better city housing."

"We will not forget that liberty has here made her home; nor shall her chosen altar be neglected."

"It is fitting, therefore, that this should be a service of rededication to the liberty and the peace which this Statue symbolizes."

"Even in times as troubled and uncertain as these, I still hold to the faith that a better civilization than any we have known is in store for America and by our example, perhaps, for the world."
