Eleanor Roosevelt was born on this date in 1884. Here are 10 words of wisdom from her:
- Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.
- We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.
- No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
- The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
- A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.
- You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.
- It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.
- Never allow a person to tell you no who doesn't have the power to say yes.
- It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself.
- Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one.
