Quote #4
The happiness of future generations of Americans may well depend upon how effective and how immediate we can make our aid felt. (101)
Again, FDR invokes the idea of happiness as a fragile entity in need of protection, and again he relates it to the quality of life lived by future generations. This functions similarly to the "thinking of our children and of their children" comment, but with a heightened sense of urgency.
Also, note how FDR has a habit of repeating certain major points. Is it on purpose, and if so, why?
Quote #5
For there is nothing mysterious about the foundations of a healthy and strong democracy. (115)
Appearing just after FDR directs his audience to contemplate the social and economic factors that lead to fascism—which, unlike democracy, is sickly and weak—this comment is a total dig at tyranny in general and Nazism in particular. Take a look at the list of qualities FDR provides following this statement, all of which are examples of democratic strength. A healthy body politic is a happy body politic.
