Eleanor Roosevelt
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
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
I believe you should tell the story of injustices, of inequalities, of bad conditions, so that the people as a whole in this country really face the problems that people who are pushed to the point of striking know all about, but others know practically nothing about.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do.
