More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
We must do that which we think we cannot.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
Nothing alive can stand still, it goes forward or back. Life is interesting only as long as it is a process of growth or, to put it another way, we can only grow as long as we are interested.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I have spent many years of my life in opposition, and I rather like the role.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
One has to live in Washington to know what a city of rumors it is.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A good leader inspires people to have confidence in the leader, a great leader inspires people to have confidence in themselves.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Of all the nations in the Western world, the United States, with the most money and the most time, has the fewest readers of books per capita. This is an incalculable loss. This, too, is one of the few civilized nations in the world which is unable to support a single magazine devoted solely to books.
Eleanor Roosevelt
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by doing the thing which you think you cannot do.
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
Do one thing every day that scares you.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Mozart, who was buried in a pauper’s grave, was one of the greatest successes we know of, a man who in his early thirties had poured out his inexhaustible gift of music, leaving the world richer because he had passed that way. To leave the world richer—that is the ultimate success.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Ambition is pitiless. Any merit that it cannot use it finds despicable.
Eleanor Roosevelt
