Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
It seems to me that I cannot afford, as a self-respecting individual, to refuse to do a thing merely because it will make me disliked or bring down a storm of criticism on my head.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Perhaps the basic thing which contributes to charm is the ability to forget oneself and be engrossed in other people.
Eleanor Roosevelt
All of life is a constant education.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I would not be happy unless I had some regular work to do every day and I imagine that I will always feel that way no matter how old I am.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart. Don't be concerned about whether people are watching you or criticizing you. The chances are that they aren't paying attention to you.
Eleanor Roosevelt
As with all children, the feeling that I was useful was perhaps the greatest joy I experienced.
Eleanor Roosevelt
