The choices we make are ultimately our responsibility.

Eleanor Roosevelt
Of all the nations in the Western world, the United States, with the most money and the most time, has the fewest readers of books per capita. This is an incalculable loss. This, too, is one of the few civilized nations in the world which is unable to support a single magazine devoted solely to books.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart
Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
How can we be such fools as to go on senselessly taking human life in this way? Why the women in every nation do not rise up and refuse to bring children into a world of this kind is beyond my understanding.
Eleanor Roosevelt
To tell the people in the West not to use their cars means that these people may never see another soul for weeks and weeks nor have a way of getting a sick person to a doctor.
Eleanor Roosevelt
As with all children, the feeling that I was useful was perhaps the greatest joy I experienced.
Eleanor Roosevelt
