This quote by Franklin D. Roosevelt means that fear can be a powerful obstacle, and often it is the fear itself that causes the biggest challenges rather than the actual thing we are fearful of. Roosevelt was encouraging people to overcome their fears and not let them hold them back.
Franklin D. Roosevelt meant that the only thing holding us back is our own fear and anxiety. He was trying to inspire confidence and courage in a time of great uncertainty, during the Great Depression, to encourage people to push through their fears and take action.
First thing to be tried.
No, there is one famous quote I like: "practice maker perfect, but nobody's perfect, so why practice..?"
The statement "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself" is a logical appeal. It encourages people to overcome their fears and suggests that fear is the only thing holding them back, rather than invoking strong emotional responses.
FDR believed that fear could paralyze individuals and prevent them from taking action to address challenges. By emphasizing that "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself," he was trying to inspire confidence and resilience in the face of difficult circumstances, such as the Great Depression.

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 schoolIn 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!i have the answer to apex simplifiedConfidence was needed to overcome the Depression.
