| Eleanor Roosevelt
A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water. Anyone who knows history, particularly the history of Europe, will, I think, recognize that the domination of education or of government by any one particular religious faith is never a happy arrangement for the people. Every time you meet a situation, though you think at the time it is an impossibility and you go through the tortures of the damned, once you have met it and lived through it, you find that forever after you are freer than you were before. Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry is own weight, this is a frightening prospect. Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product. Hate and force cannot be in just a part of the world without having an effect on the rest of it. I could never say in the morning, I have a headache and cannot do thus and so. Headache or no headache, thus and so had to be done. I could not at any age be content to take my place in a corner by the fireside and simply look on. I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall. 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. If you have any interests you can gain a wider audience for those interests while the goldfish bowl is yours! It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness. It was a wife's duty to be interested in whatever interested her husband, whether it was politics, books, or a particular dish for dinner. It's better to light a candle than to curse the darkness. No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent. Only a man's character is the real criterion of worth. Perhaps in His wisdom the Almighty is trying to show us that a leader may chart the way, may point out the road to lasting peace, but that many leaders and many peoples must do the building. So I took an interest in politics, but I don't know whether I enjoyed it! It was a wife's duty to be interested in whatever interested her husband, whether it was politics, books, or a particular dish for dinner. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. The only advantage of not being too good a housekeeper is that your guests are so pleased to feel how very much better they are. Too often the great decisions are originated and given form in bodies made up wholly of men, or so completely dominated by them that whatever of special value women have to offer is shunted aside without expression. Understanding is a two-way street. When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die. You gain strength, experience and confidence by every experience where you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you cannot do.You have to accept whatever comes, and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give. |
