"Namun kesusahan kita datang bukan karena kegagalan substansi. Kami tidak terserang wabah belalang. Dibandingkan dengan bahaya yang ditaklukkan nenek moyang kita, karena mereka percaya dan tidak takut, kita masih harus banyak bersyukur. Alam masih menawarkan hadiahnya dan upaya manusia telah melipatgandakannya. Banyak yang ada di depan pintu kami, tetapi penggunaannya yang murah hati merana di hadapan pasokan."

--- Franklin D. Roosevelt

Versi Bahasa Inggris

And yet our distress comes from no failure of substance. We are stricken by no plague of locusts. Compared with the perils which our forefathers conquered, because they believed and were not afraid, we have still much to be thankful for. Nature still offers her bounty and human efforts have multiplied it. Plenty is at our doorstep, but a generous use of it languishes in the very sight of the supply.
