More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
Anyone who thinks must think of the next war as they would of suicide.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Happiness is not a goal it is a by-product.
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
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
It is not more vacation we need — it is more vocation.
Eleanor Roosevelt
To most teenagers, life is a strange uncharted land filled with a mixture of new joys, intensely felt, and painful confusions for which they know no anodyne.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I have a great objection to seeing anyone, particularly anyone whom I care about, lose his self-control.
Eleanor Roosevelt
