More quotes by 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
One of the first things we must get rid of is the idea that democracy is tantamount to capitalism.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Philosophy is not best expressed in words it is expressed in the choices one makes.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart. Don't be concerned about whether people are watching you or criticizing you. The chances are that they aren't paying attention to you.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it.

Eleanor Roosevelt
Of all the nations in the Western world, the United States, with the most money and the most time, has the fewest readers of books per capita. This is an incalculable loss. This, too, is one of the few civilized nations in the world which is unable to support a single magazine devoted solely to books.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I don't know much about Capitalism, but I do know about Democracy and freedom, and if Capitalism may change in many, many ways, I'm not really very much interested in Capitalism.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Most women, I think, though they may complain a little about this, would agree that meeting the needs of others is not a real burden it is what makes life worth living. It is probably the deepest satisfaction a woman has.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.
Eleanor Roosevelt
No human being can ever 'own' another, whether in friendship, love, marriage, or parenthood.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We will never have peace without friendship around the world.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The constant pressure to bring about conformity is a dangerous thing.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We have reached a point today where labor-saving devices are good only when they do not throw the worker out of his job.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.
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
One of the blessings of age is to learn not to part on a note of sharpness, to treasure the moments spent with those we love, and to make them whenever possible good to remember, for time is short.
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
