Eleanor Roosevelt
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Character building begins in our infancy and continues until death.
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
...without equality there can be no democracy.

Eleanor Roosevelt
I have learned long ago to possess my soul in patience and accept the inevitable.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
The hard part of loving is that one has to learn so often to let go of those we love, so they can do things, so they can grow, so they can return to us with an even richer, deeper love.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The greatest tragedy of old age is the tendency for the old to feel unneeded, unwanted, and of no use to anyone the secret of happiness in the declining years is to remain interested in life, as active as possible, useful to others, busy, and forward looking.
Eleanor Roosevelt
To tell the people in the West not to use their cars means that these people may never see another soul for weeks and weeks nor have a way of getting a sick person to a doctor.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Nobody else is going to do the things which are yours to be done in the world.
Eleanor Roosevelt
When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?
Eleanor Roosevelt
This is a time for action not for war, but for mobilization of every bit of peace machinery.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Courage is more exhilarating than fear, and in the long run, it is easier.
Eleanor Roosevelt
There is not human being from whom we cannot learn something if we are interested enough to dig deep.
Eleanor Roosevelt
