Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart
Eleanor Roosevelt
The battle for the individual rights of women is one of long standing and none of us should countenance anything which undermines it.
Eleanor Roosevelt
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
For our own success to be real, it must contribute to the success of others.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I think that if the atomic bomb did nothing more, it scared the people to the point where they realized that either they must do something about preventing war or there is a chance that there might be a morning when we would not wake up.

Eleanor Roosevelt
what we need in the world is manners ... I think that if, instead of preaching brotherly love, we preached good manners, we might get a little further. It sounds less righteous and more practical.
Eleanor Roosevelt
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
In our country we must trust the people to hear and see both the good and the bad and to choose the good.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It is our freedom to progress that makes us all want to live and to go on.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Criticism ... makes very little dent upon me, unless I think there is some real justification and something should be done.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Because they have so little, children must rely on imagination rather than experience.
Eleanor Roosevelt
When all is said and done, and statesmen discuss the future of the world, the fact remains that people fight these wars.
Eleanor Roosevelt
