Anyone who knows history, particularly the history of Europe, will, I think, recognize that the domination of education or of government by any one particular religious faith is never a happy arrangement for the people.

In all our contacts it is prob...

In all our contacts it is probably the sense of being really needed and wanted which gives us the greatest satisfaction and creates the most lasting bond.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

You can't move so fast that yo...

You can't move so fast that you try to change the mores faster than people can accept it. That doesn't mean you do nothing, but it means that you do the things that need to be done according to priority.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

Too often the great decisions ...

Too often the great decisions are originated and given form in bodies made up wholly of men, or so completely dominated by them that whatever of special value women have to offer is shunted aside without expression.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

Campaign behavior for wives: A...

Campaign behavior for wives: Always be on time. Do as little talking as humanly possible. Lean back in the parade car so everybody can see the president.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

Autobiographies are only usefu...

Autobiographies are only useful as the lives you read about and analyze may suggest to you something that you may find useful in your own journey through life.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

Do the things that interest yo...

Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart. Don't be concerned about whether people are watching you or criticizing you. The chances are that they aren't paying any attention to you. It's your attention to yourself that is so stultifying. But you have to disregard yourself as completely as possible. If you fail the first time then you'll just have to try harder the second time. After all, there's no real reason why you should fail. Just stop thinking about yourself.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

The most unhappy people in the...

The most unhappy people in the world are those who face the days without knowing what to do with their time. But if you have more projects than you have time for, you are not going to be an unhappy person. This is as much a question of having imagination and curiosity as it is of actually making plans.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

Your life is your own. You mol...

Your life is your own. You mold it. You make it. All anyone can do is to point out ways and means which have been helpful to others. Perhaps they will serve as suggestions to stimulate your own thinking until you know what it is that will fulfill you, will help you to find out what you want to do with your life.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

Nothing alive can stand still,...

Nothing alive can stand still, it goes forward or back. Life is interesting only as long as it is a process of growth; or, to put it another way, we can only grow as long as we are interested.

Each time you learn something new you must readjust the whole framework of your knowledge

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

The encouraging thing is that ...

The encouraging thing is that every time you meet a situation, though you may think at the time it is an impossibility and you go through the tortures of the damned, once you have met it and lived through it you find that forever after you are freer than you ever were before. . . . You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in 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.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

Every woman wants to be first ...

Every woman wants to be first to someone sometime in her life and that desire is the explanation for many strange things women do.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

A great deal of fear is a resu...

A great deal of fear is a result of just 'not knowing.Ђќ We do not know what is involved in a new situation. We do not know whether we can deal with it. The sooner we learn what it entails, the sooner we can dissolve our fear.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

If you can develop this abilit...

If you can develop this ability to see what you look at, to understand its meaning, to readjust your knowledge to this new information, you can continue to learn and to grow as long as you live and you'll have a wonderful time doing it.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

What counts, in the long run, ...

What counts, in the long run, is not what you read; it is what you sift through your own mind; it is the ideas and impressions that are aroused in you by your reading. It is the ideas stirred in your own mind, the ideas which are a reflection of your own thinking, which make you an interesting person

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

If many of our young people ha...

If many of our young people have lost the excitement of the early settlers, who had a country to explore and develop, it is because no one remembers to tell them that the world has never been so challenging, so exciting... Perhaps the older generation is often to blame with its cautious warning: 'Take a job that will give you security, not adventure.Ђќ But I say to the young: 'Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, and imaginatively; unless you c

Mozart, who was buried in a pauper's grave, was one of the greatest successes we know of, a man who in his early thirties had poured out his inexhaustible gift of music, leaving the world richer because he had passed that way. To leave the world richerЂ'that is the ultimate success.
