Eleanor Roosevelt Quotes!

[Russ H]

OK, I admit, I think Eleanor was a pretty amazing person. Had a husband who happened to be President . . . for 12 years (!).

Back then, most Americans never knew that FDR was paralyzed from the waist down. He was in a wheelchair most of the time, but NEVER photographed that way. In fact, there are a number of photos where he is standing (held upright by steel braces on this legs, and supported by people standing alongside him).

Just think about that one fact for a second.

Could that even happen today?

One of my favorite quotes of Eleanor's is "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.", but she has so many really good insights.

Here are a few.

So here's the point of this thread: What is your favorite Eleanor Roosevelt quote?

PS FDR's story is also pretty freaking amazing. Only American president ever elected to 4 terms!
