More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
The basis of all good human behavior is kindness.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I have learned long ago to possess my soul in patience and accept the inevitable.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Work is always an antidote to depression.
Eleanor Roosevelt
When you look fear in the face, you are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'
Eleanor Roosevelt
Those of us who believe in the right of any human being to belong to whatever church he sees fit, and to worship God in his own way, cannot be accused of prejudice when we do not want to see public education connected with religious control of the schools, which are paid for by taxpayers' money.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death.
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

Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
Never allow a person to tell you no who doesn't have the power to say yes.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Democracy cannot be static. Whatever is static is dead.
Eleanor Roosevelt
About the only value the story of my life may have is to show that one can, even without any particular gifts, overcome obstacles that seem insurmountable if one is willing to face the fact that they must be overcome.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The more we simplify our material needs the more we are free to think of other things.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It is equality of monotony which makes the strength of the British Isles.
Eleanor Roosevelt
You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.
Eleanor Roosevelt
You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We will have to want peace, want it enough to pay for it, before it becomes an accepted rule.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I'm enormously interested in freedom and retaining the right to have whatever economy we want and to shape it as we want and a having sufficient Democracy so that the people actually hold their Government in their own hands.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We need our radicals.
Eleanor Roosevelt
