Eleanor Roosevelt

Do whatever comes your way to do as well as you can. Think as little as possible about yourself. Think as much as possible about other people. Dwell on things that are interesting. Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.

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.

There is nothing to fear except fear it's self.

You always admire what you really don't understand. - Eleanor Roosevelt

There are no have-to's, just choices

There is not human being from whom we cannot learn something if we are interested enough to dig deep.

Lest I keep my complacent way I must remember somewhere out there a person died for me today. As long as there must be war, I ask and I must answer was I worth dying for?

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

Character building begins in our infancy and continues until death.

If someone betrays you once, it’s their fault; if they betray you twice, it’s your fault.

It's your life-but only if you make it so.

What could we accomplish if we knew we could not fail?
