US Presidency
1943

It is not too much to say that we must pour into this war the entire strength and intelligence and will power of the United States. We are a great nation a rich nation but we are not so great or so rich that we can afford to waste our substance or the lives or our men by relaxing along the way. We shall not settle for less than total victory. That is the determination of every American on the fighting fronts. That must be, and will be, the determination of every American here at home
