More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
If it's a man's game so decidedly that a woman would be soiled by entering it, then there is something radically wrong with the American game of politics.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I have spent many years of my life in opposition, and I rather like the role.
Eleanor Roosevelt
All of us ... should remember that no amount of flag-waving, pledging allegiance, or fervent singing of the national anthem is evidence that we are patriotic in the real sense of the word. ... Outward behavior, while important, is not the real measure of a man's patriotism.
Eleanor Roosevelt
To a certain extent I don't see any real need for socialism in the United States immediately, but things change and it may be that there will come a need for partial changes in our economy.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Too often the great decisions are originated and given form in bodies made up wholly of men, or so completely dominated by them that whatever of special value women have to offer is shunted aside without expression.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Since everybody is an individual, nobody can be you. You are unique. No one can tell you how to use your time. It is yours. Your life is your own. You mold it. You make it.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The war for freedom will never really be won because the price of freedom is constant vigilance over ourselves and over our Government.
Eleanor Roosevelt
One of the best ways of enslaving a people is to keep them from education.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Some people are going to leave a mark on this world, while others will leave a stain.
Eleanor Roosevelt
To most teenagers, life is a strange uncharted land filled with a mixture of new joys, intensely felt, and painful confusions for which they know no anodyne.
Eleanor Roosevelt
When you have decided what you believe, what you feel must be done, have the courage to stand alone and be counted
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
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
One of the blessings of age is to learn not to part on a note of sharpness, to treasure the moments spent with those we love, and to make them whenever possible good to remember, for time is short.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I believe you should tell the story of injustices, of inequalities, of bad conditions, so that the people as a whole in this country really face the problems that people who are pushed to the point of striking know all about, but others know practically nothing about.
Eleanor Roosevelt
In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Anyone who knows history, particularly the history of Europe, will, I think, recognize that the domination of education or of government by any one particular religious faith is never a happy arrangement for the people.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Nothing has ever been achieved by the person who says, ‘It can’t be done.’
Eleanor Roosevelt
It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.
Eleanor Roosevelt
