Eleanor Roosevelt

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

All of life is a constant education.

One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.

In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.

Success must include two things: the development of an individual to his utmost potentiality and a contribution of some kind to one’s world.

When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?

If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude. Don’t complain.

Our passions do not live apart in locked chambers but dress in their small wardrobe of notions, bring their provisions to a common table and mess together, feeding out of the common store according to their appetite.

All I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen.

We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.

For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction.

All history is a record of the power of minorities, and of minorities of one.

The man who can make hard things easy is the educator.

The philosopher is Nature’s pilot. And there you have our difference: to be n hell is to drift: to be in heaven is to steer.

All great masters are chiefly distinguished by the power of adding a second, a third, and perhaps a fourth step in a continuous line. Many a man had taken the first step. With every additional step you enhance immensely the value of your first.

The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them.

Without passion, you don’t have energy. Without energy, you have nothing.

Anything too stupid to be said is sung.

I was the same old me. Just like the Moon yesterday. But because of all the other factors that came to play, the darkness, the brightness, the blood red color. They all were a reflection, a projection due to the perfect set of circumstances. The Moon was still the Moon. But it was still labeled the Super Blue Blood Moon, Just so we can have some understanding, but, again I’ll state, the Moon was still just the Moon, just like I was still just me. Whatever you project on me, and I reflect back, doesn’t then make me become a new person, it’s just a reflection of your projection. I am still just me.

There can be no friendship without confidence, and no confidence without integrity.

The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.
