It is a rather curious thing to have to divide one's life into personal and official compartments and temporarily put the personal side into its hidden compartment to be taken out again when one's official duties are at an end.

More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
Some people are going to leave a mark on this world, while others will leave a stain.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It is a brave thing to have courage to be an individual it is also, perhaps, a lonely thing. But it is better than not being an individual, which is to be nobody at all.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Nobody else is going to do the things which are yours to be done in the world.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
Eleanor Roosevelt
What we apparently have failed to grasp is that, in this new world in which we live, the collective hunger of great masses of people, wherever they may be, will affect our long-range welfare, just as though they were our own people.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I think that somehow, we learn who we really are and then live with that decision.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Sometimes it is extremely good for you to forget that there is anything in the world which needs to be done, and to do some particular thing that you want to do. Every human being needs a certain amount of time in which he can be peaceful.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The more we simplify our material needs the more we are free to think of other things.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I believe that all that we go through here must have some value.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Do one thing every day that scares you.
Eleanor Roosevelt
America is all about speed. Hot, nasty, bad-ass speed.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Do something everyday that scares you.
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
No leader can be too far ahead of his followers.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Education is the cornerstone of liberty.
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
The mobilization of world opinion and methods of negotiation should be developed and used by every nation in order to strengthen the United Nations.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Love can often be misguided and do as much harm as good, but respect can do only good. It assumes that the other person's stature is as large as one's own, his rights as reasonable, his needs as important.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I never waste time looking back.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I shall either find a way, or make one (attributed)
Eleanor Roosevelt
