One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.

More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
We need our radicals.
Eleanor Roosevelt
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
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
Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without being related to you and repeatedly questioning why you're in nonprofit.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Life must be lived and curiosity kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A respect for the rights of other peoples to determine their forms of government and their economy will not weaken our democracy. It will inevitably strengthen it.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A guest is really good or bad because of the host or hostess who makes being a guest an easy or a difficult task.

Eleanor Roosevelt
I do not want church groups controlling the schools of our country. They must remain free.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I think the thing we must look for actually is a growth in our people and in whoever comes in a quality of courage to tell our people just what world conditions are.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Somewhere along the line of development we discover what we really are and then make our real decision for which we are responsible. Make that decision primarily for yourself because you can never really live anyone else's lie, not even your child's. The influence you exert is through your own life and what you become yourself.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A stumbling block to the pessimist is a stepping-stone to the optimist.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Of course Mahatma Gandhi you might say did not have so much physical vigor but he certainly seemed to have extraordinary resistance, which perhaps is rather different from physical vigor.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I'm so glad I never feel important, it does complicate life!
Eleanor Roosevelt
It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Today is the oldest you've ever been, and the youngest you'll ever be again.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I have complete faith in the American people's ability if they know and if they have leadership.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Mozart, who was buried in a pauper’s grave, was one of the greatest successes we know of, a man who in his early thirties had poured out his inexhaustible gift of music, leaving the world richer because he had passed that way. To leave the world richer—that is the ultimate success.
Eleanor Roosevelt
