More quotes by 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

Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
The economy of communism is an economy which grows in an atmosphere of misery and want.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Life's not about expecting, hoping and wishing. It's about doing, being and becoming. It's about t Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
Keep us at tasks too hard for us that we may be driven to Thee for strength.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!
Eleanor Roosevelt
the greatest luxury I know is sitting up reading in bed.
Eleanor Roosevelt
