First Inaugural Address
by Franklin D. Roosevelt, March 4, 1933 (excerpt)
I am certain that my fellow Americans expect that on my induction into the Presidency i will address them with a candor and a decision which
the present situation of our Nation impels. 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
ppf 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.
In such a spirit on my part and on yours we face our common difficulties. They concern... only material things. Values have shrunken to
fantastic levels; taxes have risen; our ability to pay has fallen, government of all kinds is faced by serious curtailment of income the means of
exchange are frozen in the currents of trade; the withered leaves of industrial enterprise lie on every side; farmers find no markets for their
produce; the savings of many years in thousands of families are gone.
