More quotes by 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
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
If we fail to meet our problems here, no one else in the world will do so. If we fail, the heart goes out of progressives throughout the world.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A trait no other nation seems to possess in quite the same degree as we do namely, a feeling of almost childish injury and resentment unless the world as a whole recognizes how innocent we are of anything but the most generous and harmless intentions
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
If anyone were to ask me what I want out of life I would say- the opportunity for doing something useful, for in no other way, I am convinced, can true happiness be attained.
Eleanor Roosevelt
How hard it is to project oneself into the future. We are always prone to think of the conditions which are with us today as being permanent conditions.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Do one thing everyday that scares you. Those small things that make us uncomfortable help us build courage to do the work we do.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Life must be lived and curiosity kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Power corrupts. Knowledge is power. Study hard. Be evil.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Happiness is not a goal it is a by-product.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It is very difficult to have a free, fair and honest press anywhere in the world. In the first place, as a rule, papers are largely supported by advertising, and that immediately gives the advertisers a certain hold over the medium they use.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Since everybody is an individual, nobody can be you. You are unique. No one can tell you how to use your time. It is yours. Your life is your own. You mold it. You make it.
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
The purpose of life afterall is to live it.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We do not move forward by curtailing people's liberty because we are afraid of what they may do or say.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Every time you meet a situation you think at the time it is an impossibility and you go through the tortures of the damned, once you have met it and lived through it, you find that forever after you are freer than you were before.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Keep us at tasks too hard for us that we may be driven to Thee for strength.
Eleanor Roosevelt
If man is to be liberated to enjoy more leisure, he must also be prepared to enjoy this leisure fully and creatively.
Eleanor Roosevelt
My experience has been that work is almost the best way to pull oneself out of the depths.
Eleanor Roosevelt
