If anyone were to ask me what...

If anyone were to ask me what I want out of life I would say- the opportunity for doing something useful, for in no other way, I am convinced, can true happiness be attained.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

It takes courage to love, but...

It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death.

One should always sleep in all of one's guest beds, to make sure that they are comfortable.

If you must compromise, compromise up.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

There never has been security...

There never has been security. No man has ever known what he would meet around the next corner; if life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

Always be on time. Never try ...

Always be on time. Never try to make any personal engagements. Do as little talking as humanly possible. Never be disturbed by anything. Always do what you're told to do as quickly as possible. Remember to lean back in a parade, so that people can see your husband. Don't get too fat to ride three on a seat. Get out of the way as quickly as you're not needed.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

Life has got to be lived - that's all there is to it. At seventy, I would say the advantage is that you take life more calmly. You know that 'this, too, shall pass!'

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

Obedience may have its uses, ...

Obedience may have its uses, but it is no substitute for willing, uncoerced co-operation.

The word communist, of course...

The word communist, of course, has become a rallying cry for certain people here just as the word Jew was in Hitler's Germany, a way of arousing emotion without engendering thought.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

To me who dreamed so much as ...

To me who dreamed so much as a child, who made a dreamworld in which I was the heroine of an unending story, the lives of people around me continued to have a certain storybook quality. I learned something which has stood me in good stead many times - The most important thing in any relationship is not what you get but what you give.

We need not fear any isms if our democracy is achieving the ends for which it was established.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

How hard it is to project oneself into the future. We are always prone to think of the conditions which are with us today as being permanent conditions.

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.

The greatest gift you can give a child is an imagination.

To tell the people in the West not to use their cars means that these people may never see another soul for weeks and weeks nor have a way of getting a sick person to a doctor.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

Spiritual leadership should remain spiritual leadership and the temporal power should not become too important in any church.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

A democratic form of government, a democratic way of life, presupposes free public education over a long period; it presupposes also an education for personal responsibility that too often is neglected.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

Our obligation to the world i...

Our obligation to the world is, primarily, our obligation to our own future. Obviously, we cannot develop beyond a certain point unless other nations develop, too.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

We have come to accept bigger...

We have come to accept bigger and bigger things as meaning greater and greater efficiency, more and more prosperity and more and more freedom. The two do not go together of necessity.
