More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt

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
Happiness is not a goal it is a by-product.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Think as little as possible about yourself and as much as possible about other people.
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
It is our freedom to progress that makes us all want to live and to go on.
Eleanor Roosevelt
