this is a famous quote by Franklin D. Roosevelt in his speech to our nation during the Great Depression. Interestingly, I know the origin of where FDR was introduced to this phrase. I have seen the letter on White House stationary addressed to a gentleman from Iowa from FDR's secretary thanking him for the suggestion of the phrase " what the country fears is fear" dated early 1933 and referencing the 1932 campaign. True story, I had chills reading the letter which is framed and in a private collection of historic memorabilia. This letter belongs in a museum. Amazing story.
