More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
Curiosity must be kept alive.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We are given in our newspapers and on TV and radio exactly what we, the public, insist on having, and this very frequently is mediocre information and mediocre entertainment.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I do not want church groups controlling the schools of our country. They must remain free.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Each of us has... all the time there is. Those years, weeks, hours, are the sands in the glass running swiftly away. To let them drift through our fingers is tragic waste. To use them to the hilt, making them count for something, is the beginning of wisdom.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Be flexible, but stick to your principles.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Most of the work that's done in the world gets done by people who weren't feeling all that well at the time that they did it.
Eleanor Roosevelt
No human being can ever own another, whether in friendship, love, marriage or parenthood. Many human relationships have been ruined and happiness far too often changed to misery by a failure to understand this.
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
If anyone were to ask me what I want out of life I would say- the opportunity for doing something useful, for in no other way, I am convinced, can true happiness be attained.
Eleanor Roosevelt
... any citizen should be willing to give all that he has to give his country in work or sacrifice in times of crisis.
Eleanor Roosevelt
You do the things that need to be done according to priority.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Philosophy is not best expressed in words it is expressed in the choices one makes.
Eleanor Roosevelt
You can never really live anyone else's life, not even your child's. The influence you exert is through your own life, and what you've become yourself.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Sometimes it is extremely good for you to forget that there is anything in the world which needs to be done, and to do some particular thing that you want to do. Every human being needs a certain amount of time in which he can be peaceful.
Eleanor Roosevelt
You can often change your circumstances by changing your attitude
Eleanor Roosevelt
You seem to think that everyone can save money if they have the character to do it. As a matter of fact, there are innumerable people who have a wide choice between saving and giving their children the best possible opportunities. The decision is usually in favor of the children.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It is a brave thing to have courage to be an individual it is also, perhaps, a lonely thing. But it is better than not being an individual, which is to be nobody at all.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We stand today at the threshold of a great event both in the life of the United Nations and in the life of mankind, that is the approval by the General Assembly of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Criticism ... makes very little dent upon me, unless I think there is some real justification and something should be done.
Eleanor Roosevelt
