"Many people ask, 'When will this end?' There is only one answer to that. It will end just as soon as we make it end, by our combined efforts, our combined strength, our combined determination to fight through and work through until the end." —Franklin Roosevelt, January 6, 1942.
"We are not making all this sacrifice of human effort and human lives to return to the kind of world we had after the last world war. We are fighting not only for ourselves but for all, not only for one generation but for all generations."
"We are fighting, as our fathers have fought, to uphold the doctrine that all men are equal in the sight of God. Those on the other side are striving to destroy this deep belief and to create a world in their own image—a world of tyranny and cruelty and serfdom."
"That is the conflict that day and night now pervades our lives."
