Eleanor Roosevelt
Those of us who believe in the right of any human being to belong to whatever church he sees fit, and to worship God in his own way, cannot be accused of prejudice when we do not want to see public education connected with religious control of the schools, which are paid for by taxpayers' money.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
If someone betrays you once, it’s their fault if they betray you twice, it’s your fault.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
When it's better for everyone, it's better for everyone.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It is not more vacation we need — it is more vocation.
Eleanor Roosevelt
One has to live in Washington to know what a city of rumors it is.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The basis of all good human behavior is kindness.
Eleanor Roosevelt
No matter how plain a woman may be, if truth and honesty are written across her face, she will be beautiful.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It is a brave thing to have courage to be an individual it is also, perhaps, a lonely thing. But it is better than not being an individual, which is to be nobody at all.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The only advantage of not being too good a housekeeper is that your guests are so pleased to feel how very much better they are.
Eleanor Roosevelt
