Eleanor Roosevelt

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

A woman is like a tea bag; you never know how strong it is until it's in hot water.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Do what you feel in your heart to be right – for you’ll be criticized anyway.

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.

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

It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death.

The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.

Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.

To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.

You can often change your circumstances by changing your attitude.

Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art. 

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.
