More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
We must know what we think and speak out, even at the risk of unpopularity.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Too often the great decisions are originated and given form in bodies made up wholly of men, or so completely dominated by them that whatever of special value women have to offer is shunted aside without expression.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Nothing has ever been achieved by the person who says, ‘It can’t be done.’
Eleanor Roosevelt
The purpose of life afterall is to live it.
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
...real prosperity can only come when everybody prospers.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Every woman in public life needs to develop skin as tough as rhinoceros hide.
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
If man is to be liberated to enjoy more leisure, he must also be prepared to enjoy this leisure fully and creatively.
Eleanor Roosevelt
To be a citizen in a democracy, a human being must be given a healthy start.
Eleanor Roosevelt
If human beings can be trained for cruelty and greed and a belief in power which comes through hate and fear and force, certainly we can train equally well for greatness and mercy and the power of love which comes because of the strength of the good qualities to be found in the soul of every human being.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Pit race against race, religion against religion, prejudice against prejudice. Divide and conquer! We must not let that happen here.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Ambition is pitiless. Any merit that it cannot use it finds despicable.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The most important thing in any relationship is not what you get but what you give.... In any case, the giving of love is an education in itself.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The trouble is that not enough people have come together with the firm determination to live the things which they say they believe.
Eleanor Roosevelt
One of the best ways of enslaving a people is to keep them from education... The second way of enslaving a people is to suppress the sources of information, not only by burning books but by controlling all the other ways in which ideas are transmitted.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Franklin [D. Roosevelt] had a good way of simplifying things. He made people feel that he had a real understanding of things and they felt they had about the same understanding.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Power corrupts. Knowledge is power. Study hard. Be evil.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Success is not something that can be measured or worn on a watch or hung on a wall. It is not the esteem of colleagues, or the admiration of the community, or the appreciation of patients. Success is the certain knowledge that you have become yourself, the person you will meant to be from all time. That should be reward enough.
Eleanor Roosevelt
All of life is a constant education.
Eleanor Roosevelt
