More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It is a rather curious thing to have to divide one's life into personal and official compartments and temporarily put the personal side into its hidden compartment to be taken out again when one's official duties are at an end.
Eleanor Roosevelt
What we must learn to do is to create unbreakable bonds between the sciences and the humanities. We cannot procrastinate. The world of the future is in our making. Tomorrow is now.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A good leader inspires people to have confidence in the leader, a great leader inspires people to have confidence in themselves.
Eleanor Roosevelt

We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death.
Eleanor Roosevelt
No man is defeated without until he has first been defeated within.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
A great deal of fear is a result of just “not knowing.” We do not know what is involved in a new situation. We do not know whether we can deal with it. The sooner we learn what it entails, the sooner we can dissolve our fear.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The more we simplify our material needs the more we are free to think of other things.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The only joy in this hard life is serving others.
Eleanor Roosevelt
You always admire what you really don't understand. - Eleanor Roosevelt
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
For our own success to be real, it must contribute to the success of others.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Once your children are grown up and have children of their own, the problems are theirs and the less the older generation interferes the better.
Eleanor Roosevelt
To leave the world richer—that is the ultimate success.
Eleanor Roosevelt
As with all children, the feeling that I was useful was perhaps the greatest joy I experienced.
Eleanor Roosevelt
