Eleanor Roosevelt

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
I don't know much about Capitalism, but I do know about Democracy and freedom, and if Capitalism may change in many, many ways, I'm not really very much interested in Capitalism.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Because they have so little, children must rely on imagination rather than experience.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
