Eleanor Roosevelt — "We should not be afraid to be different. We should be afraid to be the same."

"We should not be afraid to be different, to think different, to act different. We should be afraid to be the same."

"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do."

"When a woman fails, it is much more serious than when a man fails, because the average person attributes that failure not to the individual, but to the fact that she is a woman."

"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 have not only the right to be an individual; you have an obligation to be one."
