○  franklin d. roosevelt: the four freedoms  ○

since the beginning of our american history we have been engaged in change, in a perpetual, peaceful revolution, a revolution which goes on steadily, quietly adjusting itself to changing conditions without the concentration camp or the quicklime in the ditch.  the world order which we seek is the cooperation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society.

this nation has placed its destiny in the hands, heads and hearts of its millions of free men and women, and its faith in freedom under the guidance of god.  freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere.  our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights and keep them.  our strength is our unity of purpose.

to that high concept there can be no end save victory.
