More quotes by 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
Courage is more exhilarating than fear, and in the long run, it is easier.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The word liberal comes from the word free. We must cherish and honor the word free or it will cease to apply to us.
Eleanor Roosevelt
...without equality there can be no democracy.
Eleanor Roosevelt
If someone betrays you once, it’s their fault if they betray you twice, it’s your fault.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
I believe that all that we go through here must have some value.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A great deal of fear is a result of just “not knowing.” We do not know what is involved in a new situation. We do not know whether we can deal with it. The sooner we learn what it entails, the sooner we can dissolve our fear.
Eleanor Roosevelt
If human beings can be trained for cruelty and greed and a belief in power which comes through hate and fear and force, certainly we can train equally well for greatness and mercy and the power of love which comes because of the strength of the good qualities to be found in the soul of every human being.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Before we can make friends with anyone else, we must first make friends with ourselves.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Some people are going to leave a mark on this world, while others will leave a stain.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The motivating force of the theory of a Democratic way of life is still a belief that as individuals we live cooperatively, and, to the best of our ability, serve the community in which we live.
Eleanor Roosevelt
