While the context is very different, FDR's words from 1933 in his First Inaugural Address are apt today (as they always will be, most likely):
"This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. 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."

I tend to see it even more in FDR's SOTU speech in 1941 ... when he articulated the "Four Freedoms." |
