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

Eleanor Roosevelt
Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively unless you can choose a challenge instead of competence.
Eleanor Roosevelt
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by doing the thing which you think you cannot do.
Eleanor Roosevelt
No human being can ever own another, whether in friendship, love, marriage or parenthood. Many human relationships have been ruined and happiness far too often changed to misery by a failure to understand this.
Eleanor Roosevelt
a society in which there is widespread economic insecurity can turn freedom into a barren and vapid right for millions of people.
Eleanor Roosevelt
