Quote from Franklin D. Roosevelt,


"The creed of our democracy is that liberty is acquired and kept
by men and women who are strong and self-reliant,
and possessed of such wisdom as God gives mankind --
men and women who are just, and understanding, and generous to others --
men and women who are capable of disciplining themselves.
For they are the rulers and they must rule themselves."

Franklin D. Roosevelt (more quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt or books by/about Franklin D. Roosevelt)
