More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
If we do not pay for children in good schools, then we are going to pay for them in prisons and mental hospitals.
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
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
I'm so glad I never feel important, it does complicate life!
Eleanor Roosevelt
Enjoy every minute you have with those you love, my dear, for no one can take joy that is past away from you. It will be there in your heart to live on when the dark days come.
Eleanor Roosevelt
When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
A candle can bring light to a dungeon but it can also be used to light a deadly marijuana cigarette.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
To undo a mistake is always harder than not to create one originally but we seldom have the foresight. Therefore we have no choice but to try to correct our past mistakes.
Eleanor Roosevelt
One thing is for sure-none of the arts flourishes on censorship and repression. And by this time it should be evident that the American public is capable of doing its own censoring.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Men have to be reminded that women exist.
Eleanor Roosevelt
When it's better for everyone, it's better for everyone.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It's your life-but only if you make it so.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I never waste time looking back.
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
No, I have never wanted to be a man. I have often wanted to be more effective as a woman, but I have never felt that trousers would do the trick!
Eleanor Roosevelt
I found that almost everyone had something interesting to contribute to my education.
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
