About the only value the story of my life may have is to show that one can, even without any particular gifts, overcome obstacles that seem insurmountable if one is willing to face the fact that they must be overcome.

More quotes by 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
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.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Will people ever be wise enough to refuse to follow bad leaders or to take away the freedom of other people?
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 Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!
Eleanor Roosevelt
For our own success to be real, it must contribute to the success of others.
Eleanor Roosevelt
If you approach each new person you meet in a spirit of adventure, you will find yourself endlessly fascinated by the new channels of thought and experience and personality that you encounter.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I don't know much about Capitalism, but I do know about Democracy and freedom, and if Capitalism may change in many, many ways, I'm not really very much interested in Capitalism.
Eleanor Roosevelt
So I took an interest in politics, but I don't know whether I enjoyed it! It was a wife's duty to be interested in whatever interested her husband, whether it was politics, books, or a particular dish for dinner.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The leisure class is one in which individuals have sufficient economic security and sufficient leisure to find opportunity for a variety of satisfactions in life.
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
When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?
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 never waste time looking back.
Eleanor Roosevelt
If you have any interests you can gain a wider audience for those interests while the goldfish bowl is yours!
Eleanor Roosevelt
It is our freedom to progress that makes us all want to live and to go on.
Eleanor Roosevelt
What we apparently have failed to grasp is that, in this new world in which we live, the collective hunger of great masses of people, wherever they may be, will affect our long-range welfare, just as though they were our own people.
Eleanor Roosevelt
There is in every country an antipathy to the foreigner.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart. Don't be concerned about whether people are watching you or criticizing you. The chances are that they aren't paying attention to you.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Success is not something that can be measured or worn on a watch or hung on a wall. It is not the esteem of colleagues, or the admiration of the community, or the appreciation of patients. Success is the certain knowledge that you have become yourself, the person you will meant to be from all time. That should be reward enough.
Eleanor Roosevelt
