"Every woman wants to be first to..." - Quote by Eleanor Roosevelt

“You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.”

“A number of people still think of the United States as being overwhelmingly English, Protestant, and white. This erroneous idea influences their whole outlook.”

“We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.”

“For the nature of a women is closely allied to art.[Ger., Denn das Naturell der FrauenIst so nah mit Kunst verwandt.]”

“You treat a lady like a dame, and a dame like a lady.”

“To tell a woman not to talk too much was like telling Jesse James not to carry a gun, or a hen not to cackle.”

“We are told that talent creates opportunity, yet it is desire that creates talent.”

“You wouldn't desire something if you didn't have the talent to carry it out.”

“My love is as a fever, longing stillFor that which longer nurseth the disease,Feeding on that which doth preserve the ill,Th' uncertain sickly appetite to please.My reason, the physician to my love,Angry that his prescriptions are not kept,Hath left me, and I desperate now approveDesire is death, which physic did except.”
