More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
We will never have peace without friendship around the world.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Curiosity must be kept alive.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Too often the great decisions are originated and given form in bodies made up wholly of men, or so completely dominated by them that whatever of special value women have to offer is shunted aside without expression.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Great leaders inspire people to have confidence in themselves.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The kind of propaganda that some of the religious groups, aided and abetted by the opposition, put forth in that campaign utterly disgusted me. If I needed anything to show me what prejudice can do to the intelligence of human beings that campaign was the best lesson I could have had.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Democracy cannot be static. Whatever is static is dead.
Eleanor Roosevelt
How can we be such fools as to go on senselessly taking human life in this way? Why the women in every nation do not rise up and refuse to bring children into a world of this kind is beyond my understanding.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Government exists for one purpose: to make things better for all people.
Eleanor Roosevelt
People who 'view with alarm' never build anything.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Marriage and the up-bringing of children in the home require as well-trained a mind and as well-disciplined a character as any other occupation that might be considered a career.
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
Be flexible, but stick to your principles.
Eleanor Roosevelt
You can never really live anyone else's life, not even your child's. The influence you exert is through your own life, and what you've become yourself.
Eleanor Roosevelt
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.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Somewhere along the line of development we discover what we really are and then make our real decision for which we are responsible. Make that decision primarily for yourself because you can never really live anyone else's lie, not even your child's. The influence you exert is through your own life and what you become yourself.
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
You do the things that need to be done according to priority.
Eleanor Roosevelt
This living in a democracy is a problem, isn't it?
Eleanor Roosevelt
Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without being related to you and repeatedly questioning why you're in nonprofit.
Eleanor Roosevelt
