A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

Government is competent when all who compose it work as trustees for the whole people. It can make constant progress when it keeps abreast of all the facts. It can obtain justified support and legitimate criticism when the people receive true information of all that government does.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Speech (1937-01-20), Inaugural Address, Washington, D.C.

The reality is, he can't as the #TwentySecondAmendmentToTheUnitedStatesConstitution prohibits this. The be able to, it would need another amendment to the Constitution, which would require a ¾ vote in both the senate and the house as well ¾ of the states (38 states), which is just not achievable in the current political climate.

#DonaldTrump keeping open the idea of running and/or serving for a third term, doesn't know or conveniently ignores that it was his own party who amended the presidential term limit to the Constitution in 1947 to prevent Franklin D. Roosevelt to run for a fifth(!) term.

WIST QuotationsOct 29

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

Many voices are heard as we face a great decision. Comfort says, “Tarry a while.” Opportunism says, “This is a good spot.” Timidity asks, “How difficult is the road ahead?” […] If I know aught of the spirit and purpose of our Nation, we will not listen to Comfort, Opportunism, and Timidity. We will carry on.

Speech (1937-01-20), Inaugural Address, Washington, D.C.

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

This new understanding undermines the old admiration of worldly success as such. We are beginning to abandon our tolerance of the abuse of power by those who betray for profit the elementary decencies of life.

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. The joy and the moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits. These dark days, my friends, will be worth all they cost us if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered unto but to minister to ourselves and to our fellow men.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Speech (1933-03-04), Inaugural Address, Washington, D.C.

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.
