.....United States Constitution
In the future days which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms: freedom of speech and expression, everywhere in the world; freedom of every person to worship God in his own way, everywhere in the world; freedom from want which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants, everywhere in the world; freedom from fear, which 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 agression against any neighbor, anywhere in the world.
.....Franklin Delano Roosevelt
