Eleanor Roosevelt
Somewhere along the line of development we discover what we really are and then make our real decision for which we are responsible. Make that decision primarily for yourself because you can never really live anyone else's lie, not even your child's. The influence you exert is through your own life and what you become yourself.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I could never say in the morning, I have a headache and cannot do thus and so. Headache or no headache, thus and so had to be done.
Eleanor Roosevelt
America is all about speed. Hot, nasty, bad-ass speed.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I think the thing we must look for actually is a growth in our people and in whoever comes in a quality of courage to tell our people just what world conditions are.
Eleanor Roosevelt
How can we be such fools as to go on senselessly taking human life in this way? Why the women in every nation do not rise up and refuse to bring children into a world of this kind is beyond my understanding.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A stumbling block to the pessimist is a stepping-stone to the optimist.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The mobilization of world opinion and methods of negotiation should be developed and used by every nation in order to strengthen the United Nations.
Eleanor Roosevelt
