Wisdom from Eleanor

I have admired over the years the spirit and grace of first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt, so I’m starting the new year with some of her memorable quotes to inspire us as we move into 2020.
“In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.”
“It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself.”
“A woman is like a tea bag – you can’t tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.”
“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.”
“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
Happy New Year, Karen!
These are great quotes from a great woman.
Thanks for sharing!
I agree with Glenda.
Thanks, dear friend. Happy New Year.
Thanks, Glenda. Happy New Year.
One of my favorite people! I enjoyed your quotes and I read one of her quote’s just lately in one of the devotional’s I read each day and I have looked back through all of them trying to find it so I could share it with you but of course I cannot find it!! The first one you have listed here is one of my favorites. She was a great lady. Thank you for sharing these with us.
Much love! Margaret
