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.

More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
This living in a democracy is a problem, isn't it?
Eleanor Roosevelt
Somehow we must be able to show people that democracy is not about words, but action.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The choices we make are ultimately our responsibility.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. 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
Marriage and the up-bringing of children in the home require as well-trained a mind and as well-disciplined a character as any other occupation that might be considered a career.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The more we simplify our material needs the more we are free to think of other things.
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
The most important word in the English language is hope.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It is our freedom to progress that makes us all want to live and to go on.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Pit race against race, religion against religion, prejudice against prejudice. Divide and conquer! We must not let that happen here.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Everybody wants something.
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
It seems to me of great importance to teach children respect for life.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Do one thing everyday that scares you. Those small things that make us uncomfortable help us build courage to do the work we do.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself.
Eleanor Roosevelt
You do the things that need to be done according to priority.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We have reached a point today where labor-saving devices are good only when they do not throw the worker out of his job.
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
