晨料峭的春寒来聆听新总统的新计划。

罗斯福：这个伟大的国家将一如既往地承受它曾经承受过的……

莫尔文·柏莱--

柏莱∶演说获得了巨大的共鸣。

罗斯福∶我们唯一值得害怕的就是害怕本身。

柏莱∶我们没有任何事情值得害怕，除了害怕本身。每个人都你看我我看你，点着头……

罗斯福∶让我们团结起来……

柏莱∶……当他说“我的朋友们”，每个人都觉得他就在和自己说话，自己就是他的一个朋友，是他的一个子民。我想，这是我有生之年听到的公众演讲中最庄严的时刻之一。我曾听过出色律师的辩论，我自己也曾做过一些非常不错的演讲，但没有一次能和这一刻相提并论--在桥底下，货运火车呼啸着穿过桥--他的声音传到朋友们的耳朵里，直击心灵最深处的恐惧。

在1936年竞选连任的时候，罗斯福对欢呼的民众说：“你们看起来比四年前的今天要高兴多了”，事实的确如此。
