Quite a famous one in CT circles:
"The real truth of the matter is that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government since the days of Andrew Jackson."

It's supposedly from a letter written by FDR to a Colonel House.
I've found a reference that it is in:

F.D.R.: His Personal Letters, 1928-1945, edited by Elliott Roosevelt (New York: Duell, Sloan and Pearce, 1950), pg. 373.

My library, unsurprisingly, doesn't have a copy, is there anyone who can check this?

I've checked as well, it simply does not exist.

Well, that is why I was surprised to find a citation of an actual book with page number. I'm aware of the usual oblique references to Yale and am confident that no CT'er who quotes it has ever checked. However, is the letter on page 373 of the FDR book? I'm not sure how common it is in libraries in the US and haven't been able to find an online version.

I'll definitely have to try to find that book as well.
