More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
I found that almost everyone had something interesting to contribute to my education.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I would not be happy unless I had some regular work to do every day and I imagine that I will always feel that way no matter how old I am.
Eleanor Roosevelt
One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
I have never believed that war settled anything satisfactorily, but I am not entirely sure that some times there are certain situations in the world such as we have in actuality when a country is worse off when it does not go to war for its principles than if it went to war.
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
One of the best ways of enslaving a people is to keep them from education.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Anyone who thinks must think of the next war as they would of suicide.
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 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
the greatest luxury I know is sitting up reading in bed.
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
Ambition is pitiless. Any merit that it cannot use it finds despicable.
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
