Other Eleanor Roosevelt quotes:

Nothing has ever been achieved by the person who says, 'It can't be done.'
You must do the things you think you cannot do.
The greatest gift you can give a child is an imagination.
Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart. Don't be concerned about whether people are watching you or criticizing you. The chances are that they aren't paying any attention to you.
A great deal of fear is a result of just 'not knowing.' We do not know what is involved in a new situation. We do not know whether we can deal with it. The sooner we learn what it entails, the sooner we can dissolve our fear.
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.
Courage is more exhilarating than fear and in the long run it is easier. We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared, discovering we have the strength to stare it down.
The mind must be trained, rather than the memory.
Make the most of what you have, when you have it, where you are.
