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 worldwide 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.
