Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"It is the same thought, to put it into naval terms, as to say that the speed of a fleet is the speed of the slowest vessel in the fleet."

"The care of the disabled, the sick, the destitute and the starving in all ranks of our population—that, my friends, is the first thing."

"It must remain our constant objective to eliminate the causes of depression and the drags on prosperity."

"That is why I know they will go along with my thought of caring first for the great masses of people in this country who are crying for care and who need it now."
