During his first inaugural address.
The most famous phrase from Franklin D. Roosevelt's first inaugural address in March 1933 "... the only thing we have to fear is fear itself..." was an adaptation of American writer Henry David Thoreau's musings of "Nothing is so much to be feared as fear" in a1852 book. Franklin and aides had the book as his speech was written. Of course, Thoreau's thoughts were likely inspired by the Duke of Wellington 1832 words "The only thing I am afraid of is fear" which at least were preceded by Francis Bacon in 1623 "Nothing is terrible except fear itself", and "The thing of which I have most to fear is fear" by Michel de Montaigne in 1580.
For his famous words of wisdom, "the only thing to fear is fear it's self"
"We have nothing to fear, but fear itself", is often attributed to him. Although he actually said this "So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself -- nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."
Franklin Delano Roosevelt declared December 7 a date that will live in an infamy. Here was his speech: "Members of the Senate, and the House of Representatives. Yesterday, December 7th, 1941, a date which will live in an infamy, the United States of America... was suddenly, and deliberately attacked... by a naval air force of theirs: Imperial Japan. I have asked Congress to declare war on Japan and her allies."
