More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
What one has to do usually can be done.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Love can often be misguided and do as much harm as good, but respect can do only good. It assumes that the other person's stature is as large as one's own, his rights as reasonable, his needs as important.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The basis of world peace is the teaching which runs through almost all the great religions of the world. Love thy neighbor as thyself.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Every day do something that frightens you.
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
How can we be such fools as to go on senselessly taking human life in this way? Why the women in every nation do not rise up and refuse to bring children into a world of this kind is beyond my understanding.
Eleanor Roosevelt
As life developed, I faced each problem as it came along. As my activities and work broadened and reached out, I never tried to shirk. I tried never to evade an issue. When I found I had something to do--I just did it.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I used to tell my husband that, if he could make me 'understand' something, it would be clear to all the other people in the country.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A respect for the rights of other peoples to determine their forms of government and their economy will not weaken our democracy. It will inevitably strengthen it.
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
You can often change your circumstances by changing your attitude
Eleanor Roosevelt
If someone betrays you once, it’s their fault if they betray you twice, it’s your fault.
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
... any citizen should be willing to give all that he has to give his country in work or sacrifice in times of crisis.
Eleanor Roosevelt
If we do not pay for children in good schools, then we are going to pay for them in prisons and mental hospitals.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The important thing is neither your nationality nor the religion you professed, but how your faith translated itself in your life.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Curiosity must be kept alive.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We must want for others, not ourselves alone.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Anyone who thinks must think of the next war as they would of suicide.
Eleanor Roosevelt
