I heard it watching an old black-and-old white movie on Turner Classic Movies. The film was made in the 30s and the quote was said fervently by the leading male to the distraught leading female. I'm guessing -- a wild guess perhaps -- that F.D.R. "borrowed" the line from this movie and used it in one of his addresses. Winston Churchill then "borrowed" it for his famous speech to buck the British up during German bomb raids. I'm guessing the original line was written by a Hollywood scriptwriter. Would like to have this clarified, too. Still, politicians tend to borrow lines from poets, films, books heavily ...
