Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Inaugural Speech — Text Version This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great nation will endure as it has endured, and will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing that we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.—President Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Over one hundred thousand people crowded the Capitol to hear Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the thirty-second president of the United States, deliver one of the most famous and important speeches of the twentieth century. Millions more tuned in on radios, listening to the President’s speech and the thunderous applause that washed over the Capitol on a cold and overcast Saturday afternoon. Roosevelt took office in a period of unprecedented unemployment, uncertain financial markets, and uneasiness about America’s place in the world. In just 1,929 words, the new president restored the hope, confidence, and optimism of the nation. A remark made by a young teacher in the crowd was published in a newspaper the next day and summed up the general feeling: “Any man who can talk like that in times like these is worthy of every ounce of support a true American has!”

What did Roosevelt say to have such an impact? The New York Times reported that over 450,000 letters and telegrams were delivered to the White House in the days after the speech voicing their support for the new president. Effective speeches like F.D.R.’s first inaugural aren’t spontaneous. They are carefully crafted works of rhetoric that begin as ideas on paper that are expertly shaped using the same writing tools available to us. An analysis of the speech reveals just how it was that President Roosevelt could unify and energize the American people in under 2000 words. It’s no accident this is known as F.D.R.’s “No Fear but Fear” speech. Calming the fears of anxious Americans was Roosevelt’s main objective.

Franklin D. Roosevelt wanted America to not become so fearful of the economic crisis. He uses pathos which is a quality that evokes pity and sadness. He used pathos to invoke God and some spiritual qualities I believe. Okay I'll use some quotes. "The new president restored the hope, confidence, and optimism of the nation" He really spoke out to a young teacher who wrote in the newspaper the next day. Another quote is "They are carefully crafted works of rhetoric that begin as ideas on paper that are expertly shaped using the same writing tools available to us." His speeches were not just ideas but they were solutions to most of America's problems. I hope this response helped you hon. I tried my best at explaining the quotes so it will be easier to write on paper :)
