We cannot exist as a little island of well-being in a world where two-thirds of the people go to bed hungry every night.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

If everything was in your fav...

If everything was in your favor, if you did not have to surmount any great mountains, then you have nothing to be proud of. But if you feel that you have special difficulties, then you must indeed be proud of your achievement.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

There is a widespread underst...

There is a widespread understanding among the people of this nation, and probably among the people of the world, that there is no safety except through the prevention of war.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

As with all children, the feeling that I was useful was perhaps the greatest joy I experienced.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

I have often felt that I chea...

I have often felt that I cheated my children a little. I was never so totally theirs as most mothers are. I gave to audiences whatbelonged to my children, got back from audiences the love my children longed to give me.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

... the next war will be a wa...

... the next war will be a war in which people not armies will suffer, and our boasted, hard-earned civilization will do us no good. Cannot the women rise to this great opportunity and work now, and not have the double horror, if another war comes, of losing their loved ones, and knowing that they lifted no finger when they might have worked hard?

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

I was perfectly certain that ...

I was perfectly certain that I had nothing to offer of an individual nature and that my only chance of doing my duty as the wife of a public official was to do exactly as the majority of women were doing.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

I believe that it is essentia...

I believe that it is essential to our leadership in the world and to the development of true democracy in our country to have no discrimination in our country whatsoever. This is most important in the schools of our country.

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.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

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

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

A democratic form of governme...

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

Spiritual leadership should r...

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

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

To tell the people in the Wes...

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

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 can no longer oversimplify...

We can no longer oversimplify. We can no longer build lazy and false stereotypes: Americans are like this, Russians are like that, a Jew behaves in such a way, a Negro thinks in a different way. The lazy generalities - 'You know how women are ... Isn't that just like a man?' The world cannot be understood from a single point of view.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

Sometimes it is extremely goo...

Sometimes it is extremely good for you to forget that there is anything in the world which needs to be done, and to do some particular thing that you want to do. Every human being needs a certain amount of time in which he can be peaceful.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

I think it is impossible for ...

I think it is impossible for one human being really to know another without first knowing and being at peace with himself.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

There are three fundamentals ...

There are three fundamentals for human happiness - love and faith, and work which will produce at least a minimum of material security. These things must be made possible for all human beings, men and women alike.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

Life was meant to be lived. ...

Life was meant to be lived.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

Each of us has... all the tim...

Each of us has... all the time there is. Those years, weeks, hours, are the sands in the glass running swiftly away. To let them drift through our fingers is tragic waste. To use them to the hilt, making them count for something, is the beginning of wisdom.
