Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"To win this war wholeheartedly, unequivocally, and as quickly as we can is our task of the first importance."

"I feel... that it is my duty... to report to you the fact that the National Convention will during its deliberations in Chicago tender to you the nomination of the Party."

"My principal objective, as you know, has been the protection of the rights and privileges and fortunes of what has been so well called the average of American citizens."

"I would accept and serve, but I would not run, in the usual partisan, political sense."
