Eleanor Roosevelt quotes about
To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart. Anger is only one letter short of danger. If someone betrays you once, it is his fault; if he betrays you twice, it is your fault. Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. He who loses money, loses much; he who loses a friend, loses much more; he who loses faith, loses all.
Enjoy every minute you have with those you love, my dear, for no one can take joy that is past away from you. It will be there in your heart to live on when the dark days come.
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.
There is a desire for progress in the hearts of all men, and it is the sense of frustration and inability to move forward that brings violent revolution.
Some friends leave footprints in your heart
If we fail to meet our problems here, no one else in the world will do so. If we fail, the heart goes out of progressives throughout the world.
Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart.
To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.
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.
Anger is one letter short of danger.
If we want a free and peaceful world, if we want to make the deserts bloom and man grow to greater dignity as a human being - we can do it.
Happiness is not a goal, it is a by-product. Paradoxically, the one sure way not to be happy is deliberately to map out a way of life in which one would please oneself completely and exclusively.
