Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry is own weight, this is a frightening prospect.
Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.
Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.
I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity.
It is better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness.
It is not fair to ask of others what you are unwilling to do yourself.
Never allow a person to tell you no who doesn't have the power to say yes.
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.
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
The giving of love is an education in itself.
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.
We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.
We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.
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.
What is to give light must endure the burning.
When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die.
Women are like teabags. We don't know our true strength until we are in hot water!
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.
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.'
You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.
You must do the things you think you cannot do.
~ Eleanor Roosevelt
