No human being can ever 'own' another, whether in friendship, love, marriage, or parenthood.
Eleanor Roosevelt
All wars eventually act as boomerangs and the victor suffers as much as the vanquished.

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
Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart. Don't be concerned about whether people are watching you or criticizing you. The chances are that they aren't paying attention to you.

Eleanor Roosevelt
No one is all-knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity.
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
I never thought of achievement. I just did what came along for me to do - the thing that gave me the most pleasure.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I believe that all that we go through here must have some value.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The only joy in this hard life is serving others.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We have reached a point today where labor-saving devices are good only when they do not throw the worker out of his job.

Do one thing every day that scares you.
Eleanor Roosevelt
