Eleanor Roosevelt
Every time you meet a situation you think at the time it is an impossibility and you go through the tortures of the damned, once you have met it and lived through it, you find that forever after you are freer than you were before.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The economy of communism is an economy which grows in an atmosphere of misery and want.
Eleanor Roosevelt
What I have learned from my own experience is that the most important ingredients in a child's education are curiosity, interest, imagination, and a sense of the adventure of life.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We will never have peace without friendship around the world.
Eleanor Roosevelt
