Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
I'm sure that all the drivers and motorcycle police had once been racing drivers and were eager to get back to that profession.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A stumbling block to the pessimist is a stepping-stone to the optimist.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The trouble is that not enough people have come together with the firm determination to live the things which they say they believe.
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
