Eleanor Roosevelt
Be flexible, but stick to your principles.
Eleanor Roosevelt
All wars eventually act as boomerangs and the victor suffers as much as the vanquished.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Somewhere along the line of development we discover what we really are and then make our real decision for which we are responsible.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
We must do that which we think we cannot.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We must know what we think and speak out, even at the risk of unpopularity.
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
To be a citizen in a democracy, a human being must be given a healthy start.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Will people ever be wise enough to refuse to follow bad leaders or to take away the freedom of other people?
Eleanor Roosevelt
A respect for the rights of other peoples to determine their forms of government and their economy will not weaken our democracy. It will inevitably strengthen it.
Eleanor Roosevelt
...conservation of land and conservation of people frequently go hand in hand.
Eleanor Roosevelt
