More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
No man is defeated without until he has first been defeated within.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Sometimes it is extremely good for you to forget that there is anything in the world which needs to be done, and to do some particular thing that you want to do. Every human being needs a certain amount of time in which he can be peaceful.

Eleanor Roosevelt
It is a rather curious thing to have to divide one's life into personal and official compartments and temporarily put the personal side into its hidden compartment to be taken out again when one's official duties are at an end.
Eleanor Roosevelt
There is not human being from whom we cannot learn something if we are interested enough to dig deep.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Too often the great decisions are originated and given form in bodies made up wholly of men, or so completely dominated by them that whatever of special value women have to offer is shunted aside without expression.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Long ago, I made up my mind that, when things were said involving only me, I would pay no attention to them, except when valid criticism was carried by which I could profit.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Human resources are the most valuable assets the world has. They are all needed desperately.
Eleanor Roosevelt
When you have decided what you believe, what you feel must be done, have the courage to stand alone and be counted
Eleanor Roosevelt
You always admire what you really don't understand. - Eleanor Roosevelt
