Eleanor Roosevelt
One of the first things we must get rid of is the idea that democracy is tantamount to capitalism.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I'm intensely anxious to preserve the freedom that gives you the right to think and to act and to talk as you please. That I think is essential to happiness and the life of the people.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
those who attack always do so with greater fervor than those who defend.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I am convinced that every effort must be made in childhood to teach the young to use their own minds. For one thing is sure: If they don't make up their minds, someone will do it for them.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Perhaps the basic thing which contributes to charm is the ability to forget oneself and be engrossed in other people.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I have always felt that it was important that everyone who was a worker join a labor organization.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The kind of propaganda that some of the religious groups, aided and abetted by the opposition, put forth in that campaign utterly disgusted me. If I needed anything to show me what prejudice can do to the intelligence of human beings that campaign was the best lesson I could have had.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A good leader inspires people to have confidence in the leader, a great leader inspires people to have confidence in themselves.
Eleanor Roosevelt
