Eleanor Roosevelt
The constant pressure to bring about conformity is a dangerous thing.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It is impossible to be a cynic if you live a good deal with young people. Fundamentally, every young person has a feeling that the future is going to hold something of value.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I have a great objection to seeing anyone, particularly anyone whom I care about, lose his self-control.
Eleanor Roosevelt
