Hate and force cannot be in just a part of the world
without having an effect on the rest of it.
Sometimes I wonder if we shall ever grow up in our politics and say definite things
which mean something, or whether we shall always go on using generalities
to which everyone can subscribe, and which mean very little.
It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it.
And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it.
Understanding is a two-way street.
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.
Remember always that you not only have the right to
be an individual, you have an obligation to be one.
Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both.
Many people will walk in and out of your life,
But only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.
To handle yourself, use your head;
To handle others, use your heart.
Anger is only one letter short of danger.
If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.
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.
Beautiful young people are accidents of nature,
But beautiful old people are works of art.
Learn from the mistakes of others.
You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.
Friends, you and me. You brought another friend
And then there were 3. We started our group
Our circle of friends. And like that circle
There is no beginning or end...
Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.
A woman is like a tea bag -
you never know how strong she is
until she gets in hot water.
I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother
to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity.
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.
It is not fair to ask of others what you are unwilling to do yourself.
Never allow a person to tell you no who doesn't have the power to say yes.
It is better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness.
In all our contacts it is probably the sense of being really needed and wanted
which gives us the greatest satisfaction and creates the most lasting bond.
We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.
Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive.
One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.
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.
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
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.
Perhaps nature is our best assurance of immortality.
People grow through experience if they
meet life honestly and courageously.
This is how character is built.
I think that somehow, we learn who we really are
and then live with that decision.
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is mystery,
Today is a gift, That's why it's called the present.
Eleanor Roosevelt
1884 - 1962
