More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
I wish I really knew what the Republican foreign policy has been. I don't. I am a Democrat, and I really don't know what it has been.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The choices we make are ultimately our responsibility.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Once your children are grown up and have children of their own, the problems are theirs and the less the older generation interferes the better.
Eleanor Roosevelt
My experience has been that work is almost the best way to pull oneself out of the depths.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively unless you can choose a challenge instead of competence.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It seems to me that I cannot afford, as a self-respecting individual, to refuse to do a thing merely because it will make me disliked or bring down a storm of criticism on my head.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Life must be lived and curiosity kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.
Eleanor Roosevelt
True patriotism springs from a belief in the dignity of the individual, freedom and equality not only for Americans but for all people on earth, universal brotherhood and good will, and a constant and earnest striving toward the principles and ideals on which this country was founded.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A great deal of fear is a result of just “not knowing.” We do not know what is involved in a new situation. We do not know whether we can deal with it. The sooner we learn what it entails, the sooner we can dissolve our fear.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We will have to want peace, want it enough to pay for it, before it becomes an accepted rule.
Eleanor Roosevelt
If you lose money you lose much, If you lose friends you lose more, If you lose faith you lose all.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Be flexible, but stick to your principles.
Eleanor Roosevelt
When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?
Eleanor Roosevelt
The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!
Eleanor Roosevelt
As with all children, the feeling that I was useful was perhaps the greatest joy I experienced.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A trait no other nation seems to possess in quite the same degree as we do namely, a feeling of almost childish injury and resentment unless the world as a whole recognizes how innocent we are of anything but the most generous and harmless intentions
Eleanor Roosevelt
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
The important thing is neither your nationality nor the religion you professed, but how your faith translated itself in your life.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I have a great objection to seeing anyone, particularly anyone whom I care about, lose his self-control.
Eleanor Roosevelt
America is all about speed. Hot, nasty, bad-ass speed.
Eleanor Roosevelt
