AnneTheWriterFor <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/PresidentsDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PresidentsDay</a> , these quotes from <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/FranklinDRoosevelt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FranklinDRoosevelt</a> (1933-1945) seem to be most applicable today:“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American Eagle in order to feather their own nests.”"The liberty of a <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#democracy</a> is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.”“The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/FDR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FDR</a> was the first U.S. President to be inaugurated in the month of January (originally it was in March), and the last quote is from that inauguration speech. <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Quotes</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/PresRoosevelt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PresRoosevelt</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/FranklinDelanoRoosevelt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FranklinDelanoRoosevelt</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#History</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/PresidentsDay2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PresidentsDay2025</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Democracy</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/TheNewDeal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheNewDeal</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/TheFourFreedoms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheFourFreedoms</a>
