Human resources are the most valuable assets the world has. They are all needed desperately.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
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
Image
Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry is own weight, this is a frightening prospect.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
It is very difficult to have a free, fair and honest press anywhere in the world. In the first place, as a rule, papers are largely supported by advertising, and that immediately gives the advertisers a certain hold over the medium they use.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
Because they have so little, children must rely on imagination rather than experience.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
If we fail to meet our problems here, no one else in the world will do so. If we fail, the heart goes out of progressives throughout the world.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
We need not fear any isms if our democracy is achieving the ends for which it was established.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
In all our contacts it is probably the sense of being really needed and wanted which gives us the greatest satisfaction and creates the most lasting bond.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
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
Image
I believe that all that we go through here must have some value.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
Probably the happiest period in life most frequently is in middle age, when the eager passions of youth are cooled, and the infirmities of age not yet begun as we see that the shadows, which are at morning and evening so large, almost entirely disappear at midday.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
the term 'young adults' which is so often used today seems to me a misnomer, and one which, if taken seriously, may lead the adolescent into misunderstanding as to his nature and his role in life. 'Young he is 'adult' he is not.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
Most women, I think, though they may complain a little about this, would agree that meeting the needs of others is not a real burden it is what makes life worth living. It is probably the deepest satisfaction a woman has.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
No man is defeated without until he has first been defeated within.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
As with all children, the feeling that I was useful was perhaps the greatest joy I experienced.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
Think as little as possible about yourself and as much as possible about other people.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
No human being can ever own another, whether in friendship, love, marriage or parenthood. Many human relationships have been ruined and happiness far too often changed to misery by a failure to understand this.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
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.
