President Franklin Roosevelt made this statement during his first inaugural address in 1933. It had nothing to do with the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor but rather was about the Great Depression that affected most Americans at the time.

∙ 8y agoHe made this statement after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and he meant that fear is an emotion that feeds on itself. If we allow it to take over we loose in the long run and will not get done what is needed. I am going to bet you were small or not born yet when 9-11 happened and so find it hard to understand how fear can take over a policy, a people, a government. I wasn't born yet when Pearl Harbor happened, but when 9-11 happened I finally understood the feelings of the people in 1941 and the fear that happens when an event that huge takes place. To this day I find it hard to think about 9-11 and when I watch older movies I look for the Towers when it is filmed in NY.
