Why I admire Eleanor Roosevelt
She was one of the greatest women of modern times.
I read part 1 of her biography, and it just impressed me so much, she wasn’t willing to just take what she was handed, she wanted to push all boundaries, and herself.
I find wise quotes uplifting, and when I read one that is perceptive and encouraging, fairly regularly I discover it is something she has said. Just one example: “You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience you stop to look fear in the face…You must do the thing you think you cannot do”.
