Eleanor Roosevelt

"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."

"I could not, at any age, be content to take my place by the fireside and simply look on. Life was meant to be lived. Curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life."

"Life is what you make it. Always has been, always will be."

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

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

"Tomorrow Is Now: It Is Today That We Must Create the World of the Future."

"The only man who makes no mistakes is the man who never does anything."

"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."

"Nothing of what has happened to me, or to anyone, has value unless it is a preparation for what lies ahead."

"Life must be lived and curiosity kept alive."

"Do one thing every day that scares you."

"You must do the things you think you cannot do."
