"One's philosophy is not best expressed in words;
it is expressed in the choices one makes.
In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves.
The process never ends until we die.
And, the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility."
Eleanor Roosevelt
1884-1962, American First Lady, Columnist and Lecturer

Eleanor is a very wise woman and she talks about our life is about our choices not our words unless they are aligned and isn't that our life purpose to align our words/actions with choices that fulfill our dreams. What is Franklin talking about in his quote that follows... our choices effect our whole civilization...

"We must remember that any oppression, any injustice, any hatred, is a wedge designed to attack our civilization."

Franklin D Roosevelt
