Eleanor Roosevelt
Curiosity must be kept alive.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A great deal of fear is a result of just “not knowing.” We do not know what is involved in a new situation. We do not know whether we can deal with it. The sooner we learn what it entails, the sooner we can dissolve our fear.
Eleanor Roosevelt
...conservation of land and conservation of people frequently go hand in hand.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I was perfectly certain that I had nothing to offer of an individual nature and that my only chance of doing my duty as the wife of a public official was to do exactly as the majority of women were doing.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Never allow a person to tell you no who doesn't have the power to say yes.
Eleanor Roosevelt
