Criticism ... makes very litt...

Criticism ... makes very little dent upon me, unless I think there is some real justification and something should be done.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

Long ago, I made up my mind t...

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.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

The most important word in the English language is hope.

I think we ought to impress on both our girls and boys that successful marriages require just as much work, just as much intelligence and just as much unselfish devotion, as they give to any position they undertake to fill on a paid basis.

No, I have never wanted to be a man. I have often wanted to be more effective as a woman, but I have never felt that trousers would do the trick!

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

Feelings, too, are facts. Emo...

Feelings, too, are facts. Emotion is a fact. Human experience is a fact. It is often possible to gain more real insight into human beings and their motivation by reading great fiction than by personal acquaintance.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

A trait no other nation seems...

A trait no other nation seems to possess in quite the same degree as we do namely, a feeling of almost childish injury and resentment unless the world as a whole recognizes how innocent we are of anything but the most generous and harmless intentions

You should always own a black dress because no one ever remembers a black dress.

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.

I have always felt that it was important that everyone who was a worker join a labor organization.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

At any age it does us no harm to look over our past shortcomings and plan to improve our characters and actions in the coming year.

The constant pressure to bring about conformity is a dangerous thing.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

Once your children are grown ...

Once your children are grown up and have children of their own, the problems are theirs and the less the older generation interferes the better.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

You in the unions do not yet ...

You in the unions do not yet represent all of labor. But I hope some day you will, because I believe that it is through strength, through the fact that people who know what people need are working to make this country a better place for all people, that we will help the world to accept our leadership and understand that, under our form of government and through our way of life, we have something to offer them.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

I found that almost everyone ...

I found that almost everyone had something interesting to contribute to my education.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

Ability is not something to b...

Ability is not something to be saved, like money, in the hope that you can draw interest on it. The interest comes from the spending. Unused ability, like unused muscles, will atrophy. It is tragic to realize that the majority of human beings, even the so-called educated, call upon only the smallest fraction of their potential capacity. They leave many talents dormant. They fail to develop their mental qualities. They are almost unaware of the degree of energy upon which they might call to build a full and rewarding life.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

I learned then that practically no one in the world is entirely bad or entirely good, and that motives are often more important than actions.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

The separation of church and ...

The separation of church and state is extremely important to any of us who holds to the original traditions of our nation. . . . To change these traditions . . . would be harmful to our whole attitude of tolerance in the religious area. If we look at situations which have arisen in the past in Europe and other world areas, I think we will see the reason why it is wise to hold to our early traditions.

Furnish an example, stop preaching, stop shielding, don't prevent self-reliance and initiative, allow your children to develop along thier own lines.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

I would not be happy unless I had some regular work to do every day and I imagine that I will always feel that way no matter how old I am.
