Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
A guest is really good or bad because of the host or hostess who makes being a guest an easy or a difficult task.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
If everything was in your favor, if you did not have to surmount any great mountains, then you have nothing to be proud of. But if you feel that you have special difficulties, then you must indeed be proud of your achievement.
