Eleanor Roosevelt quotes about
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.
Women are like tea bags: put them in hot water and they get stronger.
There is nothing to fear except fear it's self.
When you 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.'
There are no have-to's, just choices
As life developed, I faced each problem as it came along. As my activities and work broadened and reached out, I never tried to shirk. I tried never to evade an issue. When I found I had something to do--I just did it.
You get strength and courage, when you stop to look fear in the face.
What could we accomplish if we knew we could not fail?
You can often change your circumstances by changing your attitude
Courage is exhilarating.
Every time you meet a situation you think at the time it is an impossibility and you go through the tortures of the damned, once you have met it and lived through it, you find that forever after you are freer than you were before.
I never waste time looking back.
Nothing we learn in this world is ever wasted.
I know that we will be the sufferers if we let great wrongs occur without exerting ourselves to correct them.
