Franklin Roosevelt uttered the famous statement during his first inaugural address on March 4, 1933. In speaking of the economic depression that he inherited, he stated, "...let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself..."
Yes, he did. He said it as part of his inaugural speech on March 4, 1933
He said this on March 4, 1933 the day he took office as President. He was talking about the great depression which had gripped the country and how he planned to fix things/
No, the quote "you have nothing to fear but fear itself" was actually said by Franklin D. Roosevelt in his inaugural address in 1933, not John F. Kennedy. Kennedy did not use this quote in any of his speeches.

They do not have any fear in everything and therefore they have nothing to fear but fear itself.
Franklin D Roosevelt at his first inaugural speech. "The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself!" Speaking of the depression and the prospect of turning the U.S. economy around.Actually Francis Bacon said it about 400 years ago in his essay on Tribute. He was talking about fortune and change of fortune and how a man with fortitude will not be shaken. Whereas a person who is fearful will suffer much by these changes. He referred to fear as the inner enemy and said "Nothing is to be feared but fear itself. Nothing grievous but to yield to grief" FDR probably learned this in grammar schoolIn all reality you are both correct. While Francis Bacon did say this quote, so did Franklin D. Roosevelt. While the quote was quoted from Francis Bacon by Franklin Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt did say it in his inaugural speech so technically, both of you are correct!i have the answer to apex simplifiedConfidence was needed to overcome the Depression.

To quote one of the world's greatest leaders, "There is nothing to fear but fear itself".
first used in the FDR inaugaration speech 1933 this is actually NOT TRUE. Sir Frances Bacon coined the phrase in "of Tribute" which he wrote in the early 1600's. The exact quote is, "Nothing is to be feared but fear itself." (Oxford World Classics, Francis Bacon, the Major Works, pg 26)
"Tomorrow is now." - Eleanor Roosevelt
The quote "If you do not want to be criticized, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing" is attributed to the Greek philosopher Aristotle.
