More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
One of the blessings of age is to learn not to part on a note of sharpness, to treasure the moments spent with those we love, and to make them whenever possible good to remember, for time is short.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
Eleanor Roosevelt
There is not human being from whom we cannot learn something if we are interested enough to dig deep.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Of course Mahatma Gandhi you might say did not have so much physical vigor but he certainly seemed to have extraordinary resistance, which perhaps is rather different from physical vigor.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
No human being can ever 'own' another, whether in friendship, love, marriage, or parenthood.
Eleanor Roosevelt
...conservation of land and conservation of people frequently go hand in hand.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
Once your children are grown up and have children of their own, the problems are theirs and the less the older generation interferes the better.
Eleanor Roosevelt
On the whole our armed services have been doing pretty well in the way of keeping us defended, but I hope our State Department will remember that it is really the department of achieving peace.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A candle can bring light to a dungeon but it can also be used to light a deadly marijuana cigarette.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The Bible illustrated by Dore occupied many of my hours - and I think probably gave me many nightmares.
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
Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Work is always an antidote to depression.
Eleanor Roosevelt
When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.
Eleanor Roosevelt
