More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
You always admire what you really don't understand. - Eleanor Roosevelt
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
Courage is exhilarating.
Eleanor Roosevelt
One has to live in Washington to know what a city of rumors it is.
Eleanor Roosevelt
One of the best ways of enslaving a people is to keep them from education... The second way of enslaving a people is to suppress the sources of information, not only by burning books but by controlling all the other ways in which ideas are transmitted.
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

Eleanor Roosevelt
As life developed, I faced each problem as it came along. As my activities and work broadened and reached out, I never tried to shirk. I tried never to evade an issue. When I found I had something to do--I just did it.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Every time you meet a situation you think at the time it is an impossibility and you go through the tortures of the damned, once you have met it and lived through it, you find that forever after you are freer than you were before.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I'm so glad I never feel important, it does complicate life!
Eleanor Roosevelt
Human resources are the most valuable assets the world has. They are all needed desperately.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We must want for others, not ourselves alone.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It is impossible to be a cynic if you live a good deal with young people. Fundamentally, every young person has a feeling that the future is going to hold something of value.
Eleanor Roosevelt
...without equality there can be no democracy.
Eleanor Roosevelt
...real prosperity can only come when everybody prospers.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Caring comes from being able to put yourself in the position of the other person.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A stumbling block to the pessimist is a stepping-stone to the optimist.
Eleanor Roosevelt
