More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
We must do that which we think we cannot.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Each time you learn something new you must readjust the whole framework of your knowledge
Eleanor Roosevelt
I found that almost everyone had something interesting to contribute to my education.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I have always felt that it was important that everyone who was a worker join a labor organization.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Power corrupts. Knowledge is power. Study hard. Be evil.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Success is not something that can be measured or worn on a watch or hung on a wall. It is not the esteem of colleagues, or the admiration of the community, or the appreciation of patients. Success is the certain knowledge that you have become yourself, the person you will meant to be from all time. That should be reward enough.
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
No one from the beginning of time has had security.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Every day do something that frightens you.
Eleanor Roosevelt
When all is said and done, and statesmen discuss the future of the world, the fact remains that people fight these wars.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The trouble is that not enough people have come together with the firm determination to live the things which they say they believe.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Franklin [D. Roosevelt] had a good way of simplifying things. He made people feel that he had a real understanding of things and they felt they had about the same understanding.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Caring comes from being able to put yourself in the position of the other person.
Eleanor Roosevelt
No man is defeated without until he has first been defeated within.
Eleanor Roosevelt
If anyone were to ask me what I want out of life I would say- the opportunity for doing something useful, for in no other way, I am convinced, can true happiness be attained.
Eleanor Roosevelt
One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.
Eleanor Roosevelt
the term 'young adults' which is so often used today seems to me a misnomer, and one which, if taken seriously, may lead the adolescent into misunderstanding as to his nature and his role in life. 'Young he is 'adult' he is not.
Eleanor Roosevelt
You can never really live anyone else's life, not even your child's. The influence you exert is through your own life, and what you've become yourself.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We will have to want peace, want it enough to pay for it, before it becomes an accepted rule.
Eleanor Roosevelt
