More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry is own weight, this is a frightening prospect.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A trait no other nation seems to possess in quite the same degree as we do namely, a feeling of almost childish injury and resentment unless the world as a whole recognizes how innocent we are of anything but the most generous and harmless intentions
Eleanor Roosevelt
Because they have so little, children must rely on imagination rather than experience.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Those of us who believe in the right of any human being to belong to whatever church he sees fit, and to worship God in his own way, cannot be accused of prejudice when we do not want to see public education connected with religious control of the schools, which are paid for by taxpayers' money.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We have reached a point today where labor-saving devices are good only when they do not throw the worker out of his job.
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
You can often change your circumstances by changing your attitude
Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
...without equality there can be no democracy.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
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
It seems to me that it is the basic right of any human being to work.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I never thought of achievement. I just did what came along for me to do - the thing that gave me the most pleasure.
Eleanor Roosevelt
There is in every country an antipathy to the foreigner.
Eleanor Roosevelt
People who 'view with alarm' never build anything.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Friends, you and me... you brought another friend... and then there were three... we started our group... our circle of friends... and like that circle... there is no beginning or end.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Probably the happiest period in life most frequently is in middle age, when the eager passions of youth are cooled, and the infirmities of age not yet begun as we see that the shadows, which are at morning and evening so large, almost entirely disappear at midday.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We must do that which we think we cannot.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Develop a skin as thick as a rhinoceros hide!
Eleanor Roosevelt
Education is the cornerstone of liberty.
Eleanor Roosevelt
