add to them the deformity of vice.

~Eleanor Roosevelt Quotes

expressed in the choices one makes... and the choices we make are ultimately
our responsibility.
~Eleanor Roosevelt Quotes, You Learn by Living (1960)
Only a man's character is the real criterion of worth.
~Eleanor Roosevelt Quotes
I have spent many years of my life in opposition, and I
rather like the role.
~Eleanor Roosevelt Quotes
I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered.
But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a
bed, but fine up against a wall.
~Eleanor Roosevelt Quotes
“You can often change your circumstances by changing your
attitude”

rational living, I think.

learned from the past. It is today that we must create the world of the future.

Perhaps nature is our best assurance of immortality.
~Eleanor Roosevelt Quotes
A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes,
who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has
learned that there is both good and bad in all people and all things, and who
walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that
in this world no one is all-knowing and therefore all of us need both love and
charity.
~Eleanor Roosevelt Quotes, You Learn by Living (1960)
I think I have a good deal of my Uncle Theodore in me,
because I could not, at any age, be content to take my place by the fireside
and simply look on.
~Eleanor Roosevelt Quotes
Probably the happiest period in life most frequently is in
middle age, when the eager passions of youth are cooled, and the infirmities of
age not yet begun; as we see that the shadows, which are at morning and evening
so large, almost entirely disappear at midday.
~Eleanor Roosevelt Quotes
There never has been security.
~Eleanor Roosevelt Quotes, Tomorrow Is Now (1963)
When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to
prevent human misery rather than avenge it?
~Eleanor Roosevelt Quotes
When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die.
~Eleanor Roosevelt Quotes
It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the
purifying fire which those who love generously know.
~ Eleanor Roosevelt Quotes, My Day (1935 - 1962)
With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.
~Eleanor Roosevelt Quotes
Women are like teabags. We don't know our true strength
until we are in hot water!
~Eleanor Roosevelt Quotes
You can never really live anyone else's life, not even your
child's. The influence you exert is through your own life, and what you've become
yourself.
~Eleanor Roosevelt Quotes
Will people ever be wise enough to refuse to follow bad leaders
or to take away the freedom of other people?
~Eleanor Roosevelt
Quotes (16 October 1939), My Day (1935 - 1962)
