Lee Roosevelt

Famous quotes containing the words lee and/or roosevelt:

    You see what you’ve done, don’t you?... You’ve committed the supreme blasphemy.
    —John Lee Mahin (1902–1984)

    One reason—perhaps the chief—of the virility of the Roosevelts is [their] very democratic spirit. They have never felt that because they were born in a good position they could put their hands in their pockets and succeed. They have felt, rather, that being born in a good position, there is no excuse for them if they did not do their duty by the community.
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
