More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
You do the things that need to be done according to priority.
Eleanor Roosevelt
If everything was in your favor, if you did not have to surmount any great mountains, then you have nothing to be proud of. But if you feel that you have special difficulties, then you must indeed be proud of your achievement.

Eleanor Roosevelt
Keep us at tasks too hard for us that we may be driven to Thee for strength.
Eleanor Roosevelt
If it's a man's game so decidedly that a woman would be soiled by entering it, then there is something radically wrong with the American game of politics.
Eleanor Roosevelt
This is a time for action not for war, but for mobilization of every bit of peace machinery.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Never allow a person to tell you no who doesn't have the power to say yes.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I think that if the atomic bomb did nothing more, it scared the people to the point where they realized that either they must do something about preventing war or there is a chance that there might be a morning when we would not wake up.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I have a great objection to seeing anyone, particularly anyone whom I care about, lose his self-control.
Eleanor Roosevelt
