Eleanor Roosevelt — "It is a waste of time to be angry about my troubles. I must look for a solution."

"It is not often that I have been afraid, but when I have been, I have been thoroughly afraid."

"The battle for the individual rights of women is one of the longest, most arduous, and most significant battles for human rights."

"I once heard a very wise man say, 'A good leader is not one who makes people do what they want, but one who helps people want to do what is right.'"

"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."

"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."
