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. In every dark hour of our
national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that
understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to
victory. I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in
these critical days. ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
