What could we accomplish if we knew we could not fail?
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
You can never really live anyone else's life, not even your child's. The influence you exert is through your own life, and what you've become yourself.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
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
Image
Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively unless you can choose a challenge instead of competence.

When you look fear in the face, you are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image

Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
A candle can bring light to a dungeon but it can also be used to light a deadly marijuana cigarette.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
Too often the great decisions are originated and given form in bodies made up wholly of men, or so completely dominated by them that whatever of special value women have to offer is shunted aside without expression.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
It is very difficult to have a free, fair and honest press anywhere in the world. In the first place, as a rule, papers are largely supported by advertising, and that immediately gives the advertisers a certain hold over the medium they use.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
A trait no other nation seems to possess in quite the same degree as we do namely, a feeling of almost childish injury and resentment unless the world as a whole recognizes how innocent we are of anything but the most generous and harmless intentions
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
Love can often be misguided and do as much harm as good, but respect can do only good. It assumes that the other person's stature is as large as one's own, his rights as reasonable, his needs as important.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
We do not move forward by curtailing people's liberty because we are afraid of what they may do or say.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
Caring comes from being able to put yourself in the position of the other person.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
It is a brave thing to have courage to be an individual it is also, perhaps, a lonely thing. But it is better than not being an individual, which is to be nobody at all.
Eleanor Roosevelt
