The enemies of democracy are now trying, by every means, to destroy our unity. The chief weapon they now use against us is propaganda, propaganda that appeals to selfishness, that comes in ever increasing quantities, with ever increasing violence, from across the seas. And it is disseminated within our own borders by agents or innocent dupes of foreign powers.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882–1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933–1945)

Speech (1941-03-29), Jackson Day Radio Broadcast, U.S.S. Potomac
