Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"The Works Progress Administration feels that their first responsibility...must necessarily be toward those unemployed persons who cannot qualify for assistance under other Federal programs."

"Because we live in an era of acceleration, we can no longer trust to the evolution of future decades to meet these new problems."

"The future, however, rests not on chance alone, not on mere conservatism, mere smugness, mere fatalism, but on the affirmative action which we take in America."

"There is change whether we will it or not."
