Franklin Quotes from:
-
Agony Quotes
I descend from both Philadelphia Quakers and Carolina colonists whose families were separated by the Revolutionary War. That helped give me insight into the agony of Patriots who, until the British government denied their claims, had always, like Ben Franklin himself, thought of themselves as free-born Englishmen.

Designs Quotes
Most Americans have no memory of the designs Franklin Roosevelt's New Dealers had for postwar-American foreign policy. Human rights, self-determination and an end to European colonization in the developing world, nuclear disarmament, international law, the World Court, the United Nations - these were all ideas of the progressive left.

Biggest Quotes
Well, Mr Obama inherited probably the biggest inventory of problems, certainly foreign policy problems, than any American president ever has. I think the entire inventory of problems that he inherited is probably as big overall as any president, certainly since Franklin Roosevelt and maybe, in some cases, worse.

Address Quotes
Recovery measures work better when they raise confidence - as Franklin D. Roosevelt understood. His fireside chats, and his inaugural address proclaiming he would fight the Great Depression with the same resolve he would muster against a foreign foe, were aimed at reassuring Americans.
-
Actual Quotes
Since Franklin Roosevelt's leadership in setting up the United Nations and the Nuremberg trials, the U.S. has promoted universal legal norms and the institutions to enforce them while seeking, by hook or by crook, to exempt American citizens, especially soldiers, from their actual application.

Aware Quotes
I feel that we should all be made aware of that site and that it should remain intact. Coal mining has made resurgence and with every tragedy comes a benefit and the benefit from the Orient 2 explosion is that new federal laws were enacted that no doubt saved other miners' lives. This site has been and it remains an important part of the nation's history concerning coal mining and it's located right here in Franklin County.

Breadth Quotes
Franklin had so many interests that we worked hard to get as much in as possible. He was interested in everything going on around him. When you look at the biographical information, his inventions, what he read, who he spoke to, the range of subjects he mastered, there's a chance he had an opinion about it. There are so many aspects, whether the most significant or a little less well-known, that show that breadth of what he was involved in.

Attended Quotes
Franklin County as a whole is really my home, ... I was born in Benton and attended grade schools in Benton, Rend City, and up at the old Mt. Pleasant school house. When I went to school in Rend City it was a bustling little mining town. My grandfather, Herman Bradford was a hoisting engineer at the mine there until the mine closed.

Addition Quotes
James Franklin is a bright and accomplished young offensive mind. He is hardworking, intense and creative and clearly fits the mold of what we are looking for here at Kansas State. As important as anything, though, James is a man of integrity and I am very excited to announce his addition to our staff.

Aretha Quotes
It in no way denies the horrible things that happened in the South during the civil rights struggle, ... The KKK and church bombings - all of those things did happen, but at the same time there were people like my father making Aretha Franklin records, these southern white boys who made their living playing on some of the best soul records ever made.

Both Quotes
I went to high school in Sesser, in Royalton, and then graduated from Valier. My dad was a miner, and we lived wherever he was working. That meant a lot of moving. That's why I don't feel like I am from any one town; just call me a Franklin County native. In fact, I joke and say sometimes that both Benton and Sesser claim me -- Benton claims that I'm from Sesser, and Sesser claims that I'm from Benton,

Allied Quotes
Our only president who has died as U.S. commander in chief in war is Franklin Delano Roosevelt - who died of a cerebral hemorrhage or massive stroke on April 12, 1945, only three weeks before the unconditional surrender of the German armed forces he had laid down as implacable Allied policy two years before.

Act Quotes
I was on tour with Miles Davis, and we had a gig to play at a theater in Los Angeles in 1965. And the opening act was the Aretha Franklin Jazz Trio. She was this young artist and she played sort of funky jazz piano with an upright bassist and a drummer. Then she sang, and she blew the roof off the place. The rest is history. I'd rate her up there with Zeus.

All are evolving and we hope to continue to get better at serving our audience groups and the greater community interest through them.

Contribute Quotes
We realize not everyone can contribute a great deal of money and not everyone can tear out walls, but everyone can help in their own way. There is a place for everybody, regardless whether they can donate 50 cents, can paint, or clean. This is not just a West Frankfort project. This is a Franklin County project and everyone is welcome to do whatever she or he can do. Listen and follow your heart.

Approach Quotes
We're not recommending it because we expect volatility based on the price risks it takes, and we'd only recommend a fund with such a high expense ratio if it had a very long track record of success. The fund is not a 'sell,' however, since Franklin has a large staff of analysts and the manager does know the approach that Franklin uses.

Writing Quotes
My prose style at this time was a stomach-twisting blend of the Bible, Carl Sandburg, H.L. Mencken, Jeffrey Farnol, Christopher Morley, Samuel Pepys, and Franklin Pierce Adams imitating Samuel Pepys. I was quite apt to throw in a "bless the mark" at any spot, and to begin a sentence with "Lord" comma.
