"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else."
"You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time"
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself - nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror."
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, in a final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
"[T]he illiteracy level of our children are appalling."
"A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained in arms, is the best most natural defense of a free country."
“A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.”

You should had seen Portuguese history textbooks ... they knew that beyond the Pyrenees there was France, to the north of it Britain, to the east - Germany, and somewhere lower right - Italy. But beyond the Rhine it was pure hic sunt ursus (surprisingly they were aware that lions lived to the south) stuff. Sweden, Poland, Ukraine, Hungary - arranged in random combinations ...
