Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"We take satisfaction in the thought that those who have left their native land to join us may still retain here their affection for some things left behind."

"We need action to get better city housing."

"We will not forget that liberty has here made her home; nor shall her chosen altar be neglected."

"It is fitting, therefore, that this should be a service of rededication to the liberty and the peace which this Statue symbolizes."
