Eleanor Roosevelt

Occasionally he took us on a picnic or a camping trip and taught us many valuable lessons. The chief one was to remember that camping was a good way to find out people’s characters. Those who were selfish showed it very soon, in that they wanted the best bed or the best food and did not want to do their share of the work.

There is not human being from whom we cannot learn something if we are interested enough to dig deep.

Nothing alive can stand still, it goes forward or back. Life is interesting only as long as it is a process of growth; or, to put it another way, we can only grow as long as we are interested.

I could never be content to take my place by the fireside and simply look on. Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

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.

One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves.

No matter how plain a woman may be, if truth and honesty are written across her face, she will be beautiful.

Бъдещето принадлежи на тези, които вярват в красотата на мечтите си

To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.

When life is too easy for us, we must beware or we may not be ready to meet the blows which sooner or later come to everyone, rich or poor.

Perhaps the older generation is often to blame with its cautious warning: “Take a job that will give you security, not adventure.” But I say to the young: “Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively; unless you can choose a challenge instead of a competence.

"Gustavo Solivellas dice: "Todo el tiempo, día a día, tenemos que continuar luchando por la Libertad de Religión, la Libertad de Expresión y la Libertad para vivir sin miseria, por todas aquellas cosas que deben ser ganadas en la paz, así como en la guerra" (Eleanor Roosevelt)"

If asked, you should state how you feel, how you think. But until asked, it is an intrusion to thrust your ideas on any grown human being.

Basic decisions of our society are made through the expressed will of the people. That is why when we see these liberties threatened, instead of falling apart, our nation becomes unified and our democracies come together... in spite of our varied backgrounds and many racial strains.

WE ALL create the person we become by our choices as we go through life.
