As we citizens of the United States continue to struggle with and adjust from the damages of corporate greed, housing market and financial institution instability, record unemployment, unaffordable healthcare and environmental concerns, let us not forget that there was a leader of our nation who once warned during such dark times.
"We Have Nothing To Fear But Fear Itself"
Elected President of the United States
“The money changers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization. We may now restore that temple to the ancient truths. The measure of the restoration lies in the extent to which we apply social values more noble than mere monetary profit.
“Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. The joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits. These dark days will be worth all they cost us if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered unto but to minister to ourselves and to our fellow men.”
