Fear is No Different to Any Other Monster





First Inaugural Address of Franklin D. Roosevelt



SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1933

I am certain that my fellow Americans expect that on my induction into the Presidency I will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our Nation impels. 

This is preeminently the time to Speak The Truth, The WholeTruth, Frankly and Boldly. 


Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. 

This Great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper


So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is : Fear, itself -- 

Nameless, Unreasoning, Unjustified Terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.”





(Geordi fits the new power conduit) 


BORG: 

We are Borg. 

You will be assimilated. 

Resistance is futile.


LAFORGE: 

Just look around, pal. 

You're hardly in a position to make any demands.


BORG: 

We must return to the Collective.


LAFORGE: 

...who “we”?


BORG: 

We are Borg.


LAFORGE: 

Yeah, but —

There's only one of you

Do you have a name? 

A means of identification?
