In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to
a world founded upon four essential human freedoms The first is
freedom of speech and expression--everywhere in the world. The
second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own
way--everywhere in the world. The third is freedom from want--which,
translated into world terms, means economic understandings which
will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its
inhabitants--everywhere in the world. The fourth is freedom from
fear--which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide
reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough
fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of
physical aggression against any neighbor--anywhere in the world.
--Franklin D. Roosevelt
True heroism is... not the urge to surpass all others at whatever
