The mind must be trained, rather than the memory.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

The American Dream can no mor...

The American Dream can no more remain static than can the American nation.... We cannot any longer take an old approach to world problems. They aren't the same problems. It isn't the same world. We must not adopt the methods of our ancestors; instead, we must emulate that pioneer quality in our ancestors that made them attempt new methods for a New World.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

We are given in our newspaper...

We are given in our newspapers and on TV and radio exactly what we, the public, insist on having, and this very frequently is mediocre information and mediocre entertainment.

The destiny of human rights is in the hands of all our citizens in all our communities.

In our country we must trust the people to hear and see both the good and the bad and to choose the good.

Every woman in public life needs to develop skin as tough as rhinoceros hide.

Women are like tea bags.They do not know how strong they are until they get into hot water.

Love can often be misguided and do as much harm as good, but respect can do only good. It assumes that the other person's stature is as large as one's own, his rights as reasonable, his needs as important.

If we do not pay for children in good schools, then we are going to pay for them in prisons and mental hospitals.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

I believe you should tell the...

I believe you should tell the story of injustices, of inequalities, of bad conditions, so that the people as a whole in this country really face the problems that people who are pushed to the point of striking know all about, but others know practically nothing about.

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.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

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

If many of our young people h...

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.” 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 can choose a challenge instead of a competence.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

All human beings have failing...

All human beings have failings, all human beings have needs and temptations and stresses. Men and women who live together through long years get to know one another's failings; but they also come to know what is worthy of respect and admiration in those they live with and in themselves. If at the end one can say, This man used to the limit the powers that God granted him; he was worthy of love and respect and of the sacrifices of many people, made in order that he might achieve what he deemed to be his task, then that life has been lived well and there are no regrets.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

Happiness is not a goal, it i...

Happiness is not a goal, it is a by-product. Paradoxically, the one sure way not to be happy is deliberately to map out a way of life in which one would please oneself completely and exclusively.

Eleonor Roosevelt 594 quotes

We mast show by our behavior ...

We mast show by our behavior that we believe in equality and justice and that our religion teaches faith and love and charity to our fellow men. Here is where each of us has a job to do that must be done at home, because we can lose the battle on the soil of the United States just as surely as we can lose it in any one of the countries of the world.

I never met Mahatma Gandhi, but, I think everyone felt they knew him even if they hadn't met him.

We have to face the fact that either all of us are going to die together or we are going to learn to live together and if we are to live together we have to talk.

The war for freedom will never really be won because the price of freedom is constant vigilance over ourselves and over our Government.
