I was perfectly certain that I had nothing to offer of an individual nature and that my only chance of doing my duty as the wife of a public official was to do exactly as the majority of women were doing.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
A stumbling block to the pessimist is a stepping-stone to the optimist.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
Surely, in the light of history, it is more intelligent to hope rather than to fear, to try rather than not to try. For one thing we know beyond all doubt: nothing has ever been achieved by the person who says: it can't be done.
Eleanor Roosevelt
