More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
Anger is one letter short of danger.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A great deal of fear is a result of just “not knowing.” We do not know what is involved in a new situation. We do not know whether we can deal with it. The sooner we learn what it entails, the sooner we can dissolve our fear.
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
Surely, in the light of history, it is more intelligent to hope rather than to fear, to try rather than not to try. For one thing we know beyond all doubt: nothing has ever been achieved by the person who says: it can't be done.
Eleanor Roosevelt
If we do not pay for children in good schools, then we are going to pay for them in prisons and mental hospitals.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I don't know much about Capitalism, but I do know about Democracy and freedom, and if Capitalism may change in many, many ways, I'm not really very much interested in Capitalism.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Nobody else is going to do the things which are yours to be done in the world.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Nothing alive can stand still, it goes forward or back. Life is interesting only as long as it is a process of growth or, to put it another way, we can only grow as long as we are interested.
Eleanor Roosevelt
No leader can be too far ahead of his followers.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The choices we make are ultimately our responsibility.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I am convinced that every effort must be made in childhood to teach the young to use their own minds. For one thing is sure: If they don't make up their minds, someone will do it for them.
Eleanor Roosevelt
When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Work is always an antidote to depression.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I found that almost everyone had something interesting to contribute to my education.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart
Eleanor Roosevelt
It is equality of monotony which makes the strength of the British Isles.
Eleanor Roosevelt
If someone betrays you once, it’s their fault if they betray you twice, it’s your fault.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Anyone who thinks must think of the next war as they would of suicide.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We do not move forward by curtailing people's liberty because we are afraid of what they may do or say.
Eleanor Roosevelt
