More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
I'm intensely anxious to preserve the freedom that gives you the right to think and to act and to talk as you please. That I think is essential to happiness and the life of the people.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I have often thought that less is expected of the president of a great corporation than of an American wife.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Life's not about expecting, hoping and wishing. It's about doing, being and becoming. It's about t Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.
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
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Eleanor Roosevelt
All of us ... should remember that no amount of flag-waving, pledging allegiance, or fervent singing of the national anthem is evidence that we are patriotic in the real sense of the word. ... Outward behavior, while important, is not the real measure of a man's patriotism.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Men have to be reminded that women exist.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We must want for others, not ourselves alone.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Do one thing everyday that scares you. Those small things that make us uncomfortable help us build courage to do the work we do.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Nobody else is going to do the things which are yours to be done in the world.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Today is the oldest you've ever been, and the youngest you'll ever be again.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The motivating force of the theory of a Democratic way of life is still a belief that as individuals we live cooperatively, and, to the best of our ability, serve the community in which we live.
Eleanor Roosevelt
What you don't do can be a destructive force.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Furnish an example, stop preaching, stop shielding, don't prevent self-reliance and initiative, allow your children to develop along thier own lines.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Because they have so little, children must rely on imagination rather than experience.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I believe that all that we go through here must have some value.
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
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
It is our freedom to progress that makes us all want to live and to go on.
Eleanor Roosevelt
