Other Eleanor Roosevelt quotes:
The choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

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.
The greatest gift you can give a child is an imagination.
Looking back I see that I was always afraid of something: of the dark, of displeasing people, of failure. Anything I accomplished had to be done across a barrier of fear.
At any age it does us no harm to look over our past shortcomings and plan to improve our characters and actions in the coming year.
