FDR's first inaugurall address contained the famous "the only thing we have to fear, is fear itself" quote. Without being too specific, FDR outlined how he hoped to govern and help get the nation out of the Great Depression. He protrayed a leader with confidence and assurance, just what the nation needed at this time. He noted that the country had "common difficulties" but those difficulties were "only material things." This seemed to indicate that the nation was still healthy, the economy would rebound, and the government was going to do its best to help solve the problems.
