More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
Perhaps the basic thing which contributes to charm is the ability to forget oneself and be engrossed in other people.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The labor movement has a great role to play in our country today.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
What could we accomplish if we knew we could not fail?
Eleanor Roosevelt
Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Develop a skin as thick as a rhinoceros hide!
Eleanor Roosevelt
Philosophy is not best expressed in words it is expressed in the choices one makes.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The purpose of life afterall is to live it.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.
Eleanor Roosevelt
No one is all-knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity.
Eleanor Roosevelt
the term 'young adults' which is so often used today seems to me a misnomer, and one which, if taken seriously, may lead the adolescent into misunderstanding as to his nature and his role in life. 'Young he is 'adult' he is not.
Eleanor Roosevelt
