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.

More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
Do one thing every day that scares you.
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
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
We must want for others, not ourselves alone.
Eleanor Roosevelt
When you adopt the standards and the values of someone else … you surrender your own integrity. You become, to the extent of your surrender, less of a human being.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I am convinced that every effort must be made in childhood to teach the young to use their own minds. For one thing is sure: If they don't make up their minds, someone will do it for them.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I am who I am today because of the choices I made yesterday.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I could never say in the morning, I have a headache and cannot do thus and so. Headache or no headache, thus and so had to be done.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I think if the people of this country can be reached with the truth, their judgment will be in favor of the many, as against the privileged few
Eleanor Roosevelt
I believe you should tell the story of injustices, of inequalities, of bad conditions, so that the people as a whole in this country really face the problems that people who are pushed to the point of striking know all about, but others know practically nothing about.
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
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
I wish I really knew what the Republican foreign policy has been. I don't. I am a Democrat, and I really don't know what it has been.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Pit race against race, religion against religion, prejudice against prejudice. Divide and conquer! We must not let that happen here.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Happiness is not a goal it is a by-product.
Eleanor Roosevelt
You must do the things you think you cannot do.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Life is like a parachute jump, you've got to get it right the first time.
Eleanor Roosevelt
America is all about speed. Hot, nasty, bad-ass speed.
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
One has to live in Washington to know what a city of rumors it is.
Eleanor Roosevelt
