Eleanor Roosevelt
The purpose of life afterall is to live it.
Eleanor Roosevelt

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 get strength and courage, when you stop to look fear in the face.
Eleanor Roosevelt
