the continued perpetual threat of world dumping. Final voluntary reduction of surplus is a part of our objective, but the long continuance and the present burden of existing surpluses make it necessary to repair great damage of the present by immediate emergency measures. Such a plan as that, my friends, does not cost the Government any money, nor does it keep the Government in business or in speculation.

he Democratic Party stands ready to be guided by whatever the responsible farm groups themselves agree on. That is a principle that is sound; and again I ask for action. One more word about the farmer, and I know that every delegate in this hall who lives in the city knows why I lay emphasis on the farmer. It is because one-half of our population, over 50,000,000 people, are dependent on agriculture; and, my friends, if those 50,000,000 people have no money, no cash, to buy what is produced in the city, the | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt%27s_First_Presidential_Nomination_Acceptance_Speech | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's First Presidential Nomination ... | en.wikisource.org | 0.851 | 0.886 | [] | 512 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.511031 | [

people of this country no matter where they live. Yes, the purchasing power of that half of our population dependent on agriculture is gone. Farm mortgages reach nearly ten billions of dollars today and interest charges on that alone are $560,000,000 a year. But that is not all. The tax burden caused by extravagant and inefficient local government is an additional factor. Our most immediate concern should be to reduce the interest burden on these mortgages. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt%27s_First_Presidential_Nomination_Acceptance_Speech | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's First Presidential Nomination ... | en.wikisource.org | 0.646 | 0.852 | ["governance"] | 461 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.511086 | [

to reduce the interest burden on these mortgages. Rediscounting of farm mortgages under salutary restrictions must be expanded and should, in the future, be conditioned on the reduction of interest rates. Amortization payments, maturities should likewise in this crisis be extended before rediscount is permitted where the mortgagor is sorely pressed. That, my friends, is another example of practical, immediate relief: Action. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt%27s_First_Presidential_Nomination_Acceptance_Speech | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's First Presidential Nomination ... | en.wikisource.org | 0.673 | 0.824 | ["crisis", "salary"] | 428 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.511120 | [

We can lighten his burden and develop his purchasing power. Take away, my friends, that spectre of too high an interest rate. Take away that spectre of the due date just a short time away.

r knowledge, of higher decency, of purer purpose. Today we shall have come through a period of loose thinking, descending morals, an era of selfishness, among individual men and women and among Nations. Blame not Governments alone for this. Blame ourselves in equal share. Let us be frank in acknowledgment of the truth that many amongst us have made obeisance to Mammon, that the profits of speculation, the easy road without toil, have lured us from the old barricades. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt%27s_First_Presidential_Nomination_Acceptance_Speech | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's First Presidential Nomination ... | en.wikisource.org | 0.627 | 0.858 | ["ethics", "governance", "education", "philosophy"] | 471 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.511478 | [

seriously threatened from without as it is today. Since the permanent formation of our Government under the Constitution, in 1789, most of the periods of crisis in our history have related to our domestic affairs. Fortunately, only one of these—the four-year War Between the States—ever threatened our national unity. Today, thank God, one hundred and thirty million Americans, in forty-eight States, have forgotten points of the compass in our national unity. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Four_Freedoms_speech | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Eighth State of the Union Address - Wikisource, the free online library | en.wikisource.org | 0.806 | 0.842 | ["governance", "crisis", "war_conflict", "faith_spirituality", "philosophy"] | 460 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.545623 | [

tten points of the compass in our national unity. It is true that prior to 1914 the United States often had been disturbed by events in other Continents. We had even engaged in two wars with European nations and in a number of undeclared wars in the West Indies, in the Mediterranean and in the Pacific for the maintenance of American rights and for the principles of peaceful commerce. But in no case had a serious threat been raised against our national safety or our continued independence. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Four_Freedoms_speech | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Eighth State of the Union Address - Wikisource, the free online library | en.wikisource.org | 0.809 | 0.874 | ["war_conflict", "diplomacy", "economy", "social_justice"] | 493 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.545674 | [

ur national safety or our continued independence. What I seek to convey is the historic truth that the United States as a nation has at all times maintained clear, definite opposition, to any attempt to lock us in behind an ancient Chinese wall while the procession of civilization went past.

her France nor Great Britain, nor any other nation, was aiming at domination of the whole world. In like fashion from 1815 to 1914— ninety-nine years— no single war in Europe or in Asia constituted a real threat against our future or against the future of any other American nation. Except in the Maximilian interlude in Mexico, no foreign power sought to establish itself in this Hemisphere; and the strength of the British fleet in the Atlantic has been a friendly strength.

iendly strength. It is still a friendly strength. Even when the World War broke out in 1914, it seemed to contain only small threat of danger to our own American future. But, as time went on, the American people began to visualize what the downfall of democratic nations might mean to our own democracy.

untrue—for anybody to brag that an unprepared America, single-handed, and with one hand tied behind its back, can hold off the whole world. No realistic American can expect from a dictator's peace international generosity, or return of true independence, or world disarmament, or freedom of expression, or freedom of religion -or even good business. Such a peace would bring no security for us or for our neighbors. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Four_Freedoms_speech | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Eighth State of the Union Address - Wikisource, the free online library | en.wikisource.org | 0.391 | 0.834 | ["diplomacy", "social_justice"] | 415 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.545969 | [

As a nation, we may take pride in the fact that we are softhearted; but we cannot afford to be soft-headed.

I have recently pointed out how quickly the tempo of modern warfare could bring into our very midst the physical attack which we must eventually expect if the dictator nations win this war. There is much loose talk of our immunity from immediate and direct invasion from across the seas. Obviously, as long as the British Navy retains its power, no such danger exists. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Four_Freedoms_speech | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Eighth State of the Union Address - Wikisource, the free online library | en.wikisource.org | 0.804 | 0.856 | ["war_conflict"] | 440 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.546045 | [

sh Navy retains its power, no such danger exists. Even if there were no British Navy, it is not probable that any enemy would be stupid enough to attack us by landing troops in the United States from across thousands of miles of ocean, until it had acquired strategic bases from which to operate. But we learn much from the lessons of the past years in Europe-particularly the lesson of Norway, whose essential seaports were captured by treachery and surprise built up over a series of years. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Four_Freedoms_speech | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Eighth State of the Union Address - Wikisource, the free online library | en.wikisource.org | 0.359 | 0.874 | ["strategy"] | 492 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.546082 | [

The necessary strategic points would be occupied by secret agents and their dupes- and great numbers of them are already here, and in Latin America.

We may make mistakes—but they must never be mistakes which result from faintness of heart or abandonment of moral principle.

ed: "Things in life will not always run smoothly. Sometimes we will be rising toward the heights—then all will seem to reverse itself and start downward. The great fact to remember is that the trend of civilization itself is forever upward; that a line drawn through the middle of the peaks and the valleys of the centuries always has an upward trend."

not a perfect instrument; it is not perfect yet. But it provided a firm base upon which all manner of men, of all races and colors and creeds, could build our solid structure of democracy. And so today, in this year of war, 1945, we have learned lessons— at a fearful cost—and we shall profit by them. We have learned that we cannot live alone, at peace; that our own well-being is dependent on the well-being of other nations far away. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Franklin_Roosevelt's_Fourth_Inaugural_Address | Franklin D.

These men appealed to me; in the first place, because they reminded me so much of our own officials and soldiers who have reflected such credit on the American name in the Philippines, in Panama, in Cuba, in Porto Rico; and, in the next place, because I was really touched by the way in which they turned | https://www.gutenberg.org/files/13930/13930-h/13930-h.htm | The Project Gutenberg eBook of African and European Addresses, by Theodore Roosevelt, et al | gutenberg.org | 0.811 | 0.882 | ["war_conflict", "governance"] | 512 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.600697 | [

There are people who entertain the notion that it is characteristic of Mr. Roosevelt to speak on the spur of the moment, trusting to the occasion to furnish him with both his ideas and his inspiration.

that was a surprise even to his intimate friends. At such times, what he said was full of apt allusions, witty comment (sometimes at his own expense), and bubbling good humor. The address to the undergraduates at the Cambridge Union, and his remarks at the supper of the Institute of British Journalists in Stationers' Hall, are good examples of this kind of public speaking. But his important speeches are carefully and painstakingly prepared.

peech was almost purely sociological and ethical. There are, to be sure, social and moral applications made of the theories laid down at Berlin and at Oxford; but these two university addresses are distinctly for a university audience. My own judgment is that the Sorbonne and Guildhall addresses were more effective in their human interest and their immediate political influence. But at both Berlin and Oxford, Mr. Roosevelt showed that he could deal with scholarly subjects in a scholarly fashion. | https://www.gutenberg.org/files/13930/13930-h/13930-h.htm | The Project Gutenberg eBook of African and European Addresses, by Theodore Roosevelt, et al | gutenberg.org | 0.4 | 0.86 | ["communication", "ethics", "education", "decision_making", "resume"] | 500 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.601335 | [

h 16, 1910 I have long wished to visit the Sudan. I doubt whether in any other region of the earth there is to be seen a more striking instance of the progress, the genuine progress, made by the substitution of civilization for savagery than what we have seen in the Sudan for the past twelve years.
