For The Love Of Wisdom

Franklin Delano Roosevelt

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... everywhere in the world.  The fourth is freedom from fear... anywhere in the world.  That is no vision of a distant millennium.  It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation.
