More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
Each time you learn something new you must readjust the whole framework of your knowledge
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
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
Do one thing everyday that scares you. Those small things that make us uncomfortable help us build courage to do the work we do.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It seems to me that it is the basic right of any human being to work.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Do something everyday that scares you.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
Most of the work that's done in the world gets done by people who weren't feeling all that well at the time that they did it.
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
People who 'view with alarm' never build anything.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Philosophy is not best expressed in words it is expressed in the choices one makes.
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
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
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
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
I have never believed that war settled anything satisfactorily, but I am not entirely sure that some times there are certain situations in the world such as we have in actuality when a country is worse off when it does not go to war for its principles than if it went to war.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Somehow we must be able to show people that democracy is not about words, but action.
Eleanor Roosevelt
