Eleanor Roosevelt

Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.

No man is defeated without until he is defeated within.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience by which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself.
Eleanor Roosevelt - My Day
People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

Friendship with oneself is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.

I could not at any age be content to take my place in a corner by the fireside and simply look on.

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

Women are like teabags. You dont know how strong they are until you put them in hot water.

A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.

If you lose money you lose much,
If you lose friends you lose more,
If you lose faith you lose all.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art.

Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

It is not fair to ask of others what you are unwilling to do yourself.

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.

I think that somehow, we learn who we really are and then live with that decision.

Never be bored, and you will never be boring.

Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home?so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any map of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person: The neighbourhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.

If someone betrays you once, it?s their fault; if they betray you twice, it?s your fault.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

You must do the things you think you cannot do.

- Eleanor Roosevelt
