Franklin D. Roosevelt Franklin Roosevelt

Roosevelt is consistently rated by scholars as one of the greatest US Presidents.

The following are Roosevelt’s inspirational quotes in Chinese and English

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.

The only obstacle to realizing tomorrow’s ideals is today’s doubt.

The world can be changed by man's endeavor, and that this endeavor can lead to something new and better. No man can sever the bonds that unite him to his society simply by averting his eyes. He must ever be receptive and sensitive to the new; and have sufficient courage and skill to novel facts and to deal with them.

People can change the world through hard work, and this hard work can enable human beings to reach new and better realms . No one can cut off his connection with society simply by closing his eyes and not looking at social reality. He must be sensitive and ready to accept new things at any time; he must have the courage and ability to face new facts and solve new problems.

They have no vision, and when there is no vision, the people perish.

They have no vision, and people without vision will perish.

Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money, it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill

of creative efforts.

Happiness is not just It depends on how much money you have, but on the joy of success and the thrill of the soul that comes from creative activities.

Small wonder that confidence languishes, for it thrives only on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of our obligation, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance.

No wonder confidence is waning. Faith can only grow through honesty, honor, sacred responsibility, loyal maintenance, and selfless action. And without these, there is no faith.

Restoration calls, however, not for changes in ethics alone. This nation is asking for action, and action now.

It is completely useless to just sit and talk, we must act , and must act quickly.

There are many ways in which it can be helped, but it can never be helped by merely talking about it. We must act, we must act quickly.

Many things have help accomplish the mission, but these never include empty talk. We must act, act now.

This, I propose to offer, we are going to larger purposes, bind upon us, bind upon us all, as a

sacred obligation with a unity of duty, hitherto evoked only in times of armed strife.

I propose that for a greater goal, all of us should be closely united by common responsibilities. This is a sacred obligation, and we will carry forward the spirit of suffering and passion that was only seen in times of war in the country.

We face the arduous days that lie before us in the warm courage of national unity; with the clear consciousness of seeking old and Pcious moral values; with the clean satisfaction that comes from the stern performance of duty by old and young alike. We aim at the assurance of a rounded, a permanent national life.

Let us face the severe years before us, with the enthusiasm and courage that the country has brought us, with the pursuit of tradition , a clear awareness of precious moral values, with the satisfaction of a clear conscience that young and old alike can derive from fulfilling their duties with integrity. Our goal is to ensure a satisfactory life for the people and long-term peace and stability.
