Freedom From Want, 1943 by Norman Rockwell,Saturday Evening PostCover

One of the Four Freedoms series inspired by a speech by Franklin Roosevelt:

In the future days which we seek to make secure, we look

forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.

The first is freedom of speech and expression

-- everywhere in the world.

The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his

own way -- everywhere in the world.

The third is freedom from want, which, translated into world

terms, means economic understandings which will secure to

every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants

-- everywhere in the world.

The fourth is freedom from fear, which, translated into

world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments

to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation

will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression

against any neighbor -- anywhere in the world.

That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite

basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and

generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of

the so-called "new order" of tyranny which the dictators

seek to create with the crash of a bomb.

- Franklin Delano Roosevelt,

excerpted from the Annual Message to the Congress,

January 6, 1941
