Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart.
Eleanor Roosevelt
To be a citizen in a democracy, a human being must be given a healthy start.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Great leaders inspire people to have confidence in themselves.
Eleanor Roosevelt
When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?
Eleanor Roosevelt
Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
Eleanor Roosevelt
No one is all-knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity.
Eleanor Roosevelt
If you have any interests you can gain a wider audience for those interests while the goldfish bowl is yours!
Eleanor Roosevelt
I could never say in the morning, I have a headache and cannot do thus and so. Headache or no headache, thus and so had to be done.
Eleanor Roosevelt
