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
It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The labor movement has a great role to play in our country today.
Eleanor Roosevelt
