| Quotations by Eleanor Roosevelt |
 One's philosophy expressed in choices - One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.Great minds discuss ideas - Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. To handle yourself - To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart. Ability not something to be saved - Ability is not something to be saved, like money, in the hope that you can draw interest on it. The interest comes from the spending. Unused ability, like unused muscles, will atrophy. Looking fear in the face - 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 have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do. |
