When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike you, do not wait until he has struck before you crush him.

Fear

…the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Freedom

We look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expression. The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way. The third is freedom from want…. The fourth is freedom from fear.

Happiness

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.

Leaders and Leadership

It is a terrible thing to look over your shoulder when you are trying to lead -- and find no one there.

Security

In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expression--everywhere in the world. The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way--everywhere in the world. The third is freedom from want--which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants--everywhere in the world. The fourth is freedom from fear--which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression gainst any neighbor--anywhere in the world.

Time and Time Management

never before have we had so little time in which to do so much.
