Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"Let us all, as Americans, unite in a solemn determination to defend and maintain and transmit to those who shall follow us the rich heritage of freedom which is ours today."

"It is an irony of our day that three-quarters of a century after the adoption of the Amendment forever outlawing slavery under the American Flag, liberty should be under violent attack."

"True democratic Government cannot long endure in the midst of widespread ignorance."

"I am very proud to take part in these symbols of new America, built on the old America."
