Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"The Nation will long remember Wendell Willkie as a forthright American."

"This courage—which was his dominating trait—prompted him more than once to stand alone and to challenge the wisdom of counsels taken by powerful interests within his own party."

"It is more than fitting, it is inevitable, that as hopeless darkness is engulfing the ideals of Nazi barbarism the clear Greek air will once more be breathed by free men without fear of oppression."

"I am deeply moved at the news that the liberation of Greece has begun."
