To a certain extent I don't see any real need for socialism in the United States immediately, but things change and it may be that there will come a need for partial changes in our economy.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A stumbling block to the pessimist is a stepping-stone to the optimist.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
Human resources are the most valuable assets the world has. They are all needed desperately.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Success is not something that can be measured or worn on a watch or hung on a wall. It is not the esteem of colleagues, or the admiration of the community, or the appreciation of patients. Success is the certain knowledge that you have become yourself, the person you will meant to be from all time. That should be reward enough.
Eleanor Roosevelt
