More quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
On the whole our armed services have been doing pretty well in the way of keeping us defended, but I hope our State Department will remember that it is really the department of achieving peace.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I believe you should tell the story of injustices, of inequalities, of bad conditions, so that the people as a whole in this country really face the problems that people who are pushed to the point of striking know all about, but others know practically nothing about.
Eleanor Roosevelt
We will have to want peace, want it enough to pay for it, before it becomes an accepted rule.
Eleanor Roosevelt
If it's a man's game so decidedly that a woman would be soiled by entering it, then there is something radically wrong with the American game of politics.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The basis of world peace is the teaching which runs through almost all the great religions of the world. Love thy neighbor as thyself.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
Long ago, I made up my mind that, when things were said involving only me, I would pay no attention to them, except when valid criticism was carried by which I could profit.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The word liberal comes from the word free. We must cherish and honor the word free or it will cease to apply to us.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Happiness is not a goal it is a by-product.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Courage is more exhilarating than fear, and in the long run, it is easier.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Remember always that you have not only the right to be an individual you have an obligation to be one.
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
You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Of course Mahatma Gandhi you might say did not have so much physical vigor but he certainly seemed to have extraordinary resistance, which perhaps is rather different from physical vigor.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A candle can bring light to a dungeon but it can also be used to light a deadly marijuana cigarette.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The Bible illustrated by Dore occupied many of my hours - and I think probably gave me many nightmares.
Eleanor Roosevelt
