More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
How can we be such fools as to go on senselessly taking human life in this way? Why the women in every nation do not rise up and refuse to bring children into a world of this kind is beyond my understanding.
Eleanor Roosevelt
In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.
Eleanor Roosevelt
What I have learned from my own experience is that the most important ingredients in a child's education are curiosity, interest, imagination, and a sense of the adventure of life.
Eleanor Roosevelt
In our country we must trust the people to hear and see both the good and the bad and to choose the good.
Eleanor Roosevelt
One of the best ways of enslaving a people is to keep them from education... The second way of enslaving a people is to suppress the sources of information, not only by burning books but by controlling all the other ways in which ideas are transmitted.
Eleanor Roosevelt
If man is to be liberated to enjoy more leisure, he must also be prepared to enjoy this leisure fully and creatively.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Think as little as possible about yourself and as much as possible about other people.
Eleanor Roosevelt
One of the blessings of age is to learn not to part on a note of sharpness, to treasure the moments spent with those we love, and to make them whenever possible good to remember, for time is short.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.
Eleanor Roosevelt
To most teenagers, life is a strange uncharted land filled with a mixture of new joys, intensely felt, and painful confusions for which they know no anodyne.
Eleanor Roosevelt
As for accomplishments, I just did what I had to do as things came along.
Eleanor Roosevelt
As life developed, I faced each problem as it came along. As my activities and work broadened and reached out, I never tried to shirk. I tried never to evade an issue. When I found I had something to do--I just did it.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We need our radicals.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Poverty is an expensive luxury. We cannot afford it.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The economy of communism is an economy which grows in an atmosphere of misery and want.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Poor minds talk about people average minds talk about events great minds talk about ideas
Eleanor Roosevelt
Today is the oldest you've ever been, and the youngest you'll ever be again.
Eleanor Roosevelt
the term 'young adults' which is so often used today seems to me a misnomer, and one which, if taken seriously, may lead the adolescent into misunderstanding as to his nature and his role in life. 'Young he is 'adult' he is not.
Eleanor Roosevelt
You must do the things you think you cannot do.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It is impossible to be a cynic if you live a good deal with young people. Fundamentally, every young person has a feeling that the future is going to hold something of value.
Eleanor Roosevelt
