You rarely achieve finality. If you did, life would be over, but as you strive new visions open before you, new possibilities for the satisfaction of living.

We stand today at the threshold of a great event both in the life of the United Nations and in the life of mankind, that is the approval by the General Assembly of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Strength that goes wrong is even more dangerous than weakness that goes wrong.

Of course Mahatma Gandhi you ...

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.

So I took an interest in politics, but I don't know whether I enjoyed it! It was a wife's duty to be interested in whatever interested her husband, whether it was politics, books, or a particular dish for dinner.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

It seems to me that I cannot ...

It seems to me that I cannot afford, as a self-respecting individual, to refuse to do a thing merely because it will make me disliked or bring down a storm of criticism on my head.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

Do one thing everyday that scares you. Those small things that make us uncomfortable help us build courage to do the work we do.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

A woman is like a tea bag. You'll never know how strong it is until it's in hot water.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

One thing is for sure-none of ...

One thing is for sure-none of the arts flourishes on censorship and repression. And by this time it should be evident that the American public is capable of doing its own censoring.

Be flexible, but stick to your principles.

In the long run there is no more liberating, no more exhilarating experience than to determine one's position, state it bravely, and then act boldly.

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.

It is curious how much more interest can be evoked by a mixture of gossip, romance and mystery than by facts.

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

All big things in human history have been arrived at slowly and through many compromises.

What we must learn to do is to create unbreakable bonds between the sciences and the humanities. We cannot procrastinate. The world of the future is in our making. Tomorrow is now.

The film industry is a great industry with infinite possibilities for good and bad. Its primary purpose is to entertain people. On the side, it can do many other things. It can popularize certain ideals, it can make education palatable. But in the long run, the judge who decides whether what it does is good or bad is the man or woman who attends the movies.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

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

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

To handle yourself, use your h...

To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart. Anger is only one letter short of danger. If someone betrays you once, it is his fault; if he betrays you twice, it is your fault. Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. He who loses money, loses much; he who loses a friend, loses much more; he who loses faith, loses all.
