More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
...without equality there can be no democracy.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I am convinced that every effort must be made in childhood to teach the young to use their own minds. For one thing is sure: If they don't make up their minds, someone will do it for them.
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
One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It is our freedom to progress that makes us all want to live and to go on.
Eleanor Roosevelt
One of the best ways of enslaving a people is to keep them from education... The second way of enslaving a people is to suppress the sources of information, not only by burning books but by controlling all the other ways in which ideas are transmitted.
Eleanor Roosevelt
You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart
Eleanor Roosevelt
The most important thing in any relationship is not what you get but what you give.... In any case, the giving of love is an education in itself.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I believe that all that we go through here must have some value.
Eleanor Roosevelt
This living in a democracy is a problem, isn't it?
Eleanor Roosevelt
A trait no other nation seems to possess in quite the same degree as we do namely, a feeling of almost childish injury and resentment unless the world as a whole recognizes how innocent we are of anything but the most generous and harmless intentions
Eleanor Roosevelt
I think the thing we must look for actually is a growth in our people and in whoever comes in a quality of courage to tell our people just what world conditions are.
Eleanor Roosevelt
What you don't do can be a destructive force.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We are given in our newspapers and on TV and radio exactly what we, the public, insist on having, and this very frequently is mediocre information and mediocre entertainment.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I never thought of achievement. I just did what came along for me to do - the thing that gave me the most pleasure.
Eleanor Roosevelt
No leader can be too far ahead of his followers.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Eleanor Roosevelt
One of the best ways of enslaving a people is to keep them from education.
