More information

Eleanor Roosevelt - First Lady of the World

Eleanor Roosevelt was a person who did many good deeds for others. As our country's First Lady during the 1930's Great Depression, she saw millions of poor people suffering. Knowing she could not provide food and homes for all the poor, she did her best to make their lives happier. Her simple acts of KINDNESS, such as a letter to them, or a visit, brought hope to needy folks whose lives were often hopeless.

Quotes:

"Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world."

"It is not fair to ask of others what you are unwilling to do yourself."

"Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life."

"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience."
