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 school
In 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!
