More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
We are given in our newspapers and on TV and radio exactly what we, the public, insist on having, and this very frequently is mediocre information and mediocre entertainment.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A candle can bring light to a dungeon but it can also be used to light a deadly marijuana cigarette.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It is very difficult to have a free, fair and honest press anywhere in the world. In the first place, as a rule, papers are largely supported by advertising, and that immediately gives the advertisers a certain hold over the medium they use.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Power corrupts. Knowledge is power. Study hard. Be evil.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Anyone who knows history, particularly the history of Europe, will, I think, recognize that the domination of education or of government by any one particular religious faith is never a happy arrangement for the people.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I believe that all that we go through here must have some value.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Most women, I think, though they may complain a little about this, would agree that meeting the needs of others is not a real burden it is what makes life worth living. It is probably the deepest satisfaction a woman has.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Never be bored, and you will never be boring.
Eleanor Roosevelt
No leader can be too far ahead of his followers.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Probably the happiest period in life most frequently is in middle age, when the eager passions of youth are cooled, and the infirmities of age not yet begun as we see that the shadows, which are at morning and evening so large, almost entirely disappear at midday.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It is not more vacation we need — it is more vocation.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Life is like a parachute jump, you've got to get it right the first time.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Human resources are the most valuable assets the world has. They are all needed desperately.
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
In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Perhaps the basic thing which contributes to charm is the ability to forget oneself and be engrossed in other people.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The constant pressure to bring about conformity is a dangerous thing.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The more we simplify our material needs the more we are free to think of other things.
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
