It is a brave thing to have courage to be an individual it is also, perhaps, a lonely thing. But it is better than not being an individual, which is to be nobody at all.

More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A respect for the rights of other peoples to determine their forms of government and their economy will not weaken our democracy. It will inevitably strengthen it.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry is own weight, this is a frightening prospect.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I think if the people of this country can be reached with the truth, their judgment will be in favor of the many, as against the privileged few
Eleanor Roosevelt
Never allow a person to tell you no who doesn't have the power to say yes.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Power corrupts. Knowledge is power. Study hard. Be evil.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Every woman in public life needs to develop skin as tough as rhinoceros hide.
Eleanor Roosevelt
a society in which there is widespread economic insecurity can turn freedom into a barren and vapid right for millions of people.
Eleanor Roosevelt
the term 'young adults' which is so often used today seems to me a misnomer, and one which, if taken seriously, may lead the adolescent into misunderstanding as to his nature and his role in life. 'Young he is 'adult' he is not.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Criticism ... makes very little dent upon me, unless I think there is some real justification and something should be done.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Every day do something that frightens you.
Eleanor Roosevelt
In our country we must trust the people to hear and see both the good and the bad and to choose the good.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Keep us at tasks too hard for us that we may be driven to Thee for strength.
Eleanor Roosevelt
One of the first things we must get rid of is the idea that democracy is tantamount to capitalism.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively unless you can choose a challenge instead of competence.
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
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Friends, you and me... you brought another friend... and then there were three... we started our group... our circle of friends... and like that circle... there is no beginning or end.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The choices we make are ultimately our responsibility.
Eleanor Roosevelt
