Words of Wisdom

I was looking through the Quotations Page (my favorite and the most reliable source for quotes, btw) for a quote to include in a letter, and I came across a few gems by FDR, who has long been my favorite president.

There has been a sharp increase in comparing today's situation in Iraq and more broadly with the War on Terror in general to World War 2. While the analogy is incredibly flawed, some things said by FDR from the time (actually, a little before, but still in the context of Nazis, I believe) I think really carry over:

"In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved."


"Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth."
