Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
To be a citizen in a democracy, a human being must be given a healthy start.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
Every day do something that frightens you.
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
It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Nothing has ever been achieved by the person who says, ‘It can’t be done.’
Eleanor Roosevelt
Most women, I think, though they may complain a little about this, would agree that meeting the needs of others is not a real burden it is what makes life worth living. It is probably the deepest satisfaction a woman has.
Eleanor Roosevelt
