Eleanor Roosevelt
Education is the cornerstone of liberty.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Courage is exhilarating.
Eleanor Roosevelt
No human being can ever own another, whether in friendship, love, marriage or parenthood. Many human relationships have been ruined and happiness far too often changed to misery by a failure to understand this.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I never met Mahatma Gandhi, but, I think everyone felt they knew him even if they hadn't met him.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I never waste time looking back.
Eleanor Roosevelt
what we need in the world is manners ... I think that if, instead of preaching brotherly love, we preached good manners, we might get a little further. It sounds less righteous and more practical.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
Of all the nations in the Western world, the United States, with the most money and the most time, has the fewest readers of books per capita. This is an incalculable loss. This, too, is one of the few civilized nations in the world which is unable to support a single magazine devoted solely to books.
Eleanor Roosevelt
On the whole our armed services have been doing pretty well in the way of keeping us defended, but I hope our State Department will remember that it is really the department of achieving peace.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Mozart, who was buried in a pauper’s grave, was one of the greatest successes we know of, a man who in his early thirties had poured out his inexhaustible gift of music, leaving the world richer because he had passed that way. To leave the world richer—that is the ultimate success.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I'm so glad I never feel important, it does complicate life!
Eleanor Roosevelt
A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The leisure class is one in which individuals have sufficient economic security and sufficient leisure to find opportunity for a variety of satisfactions in life.
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
