"What you don't do can be a..." - Quote by Eleanor Roosevelt

“You do the things that need to be done according to priority.”

“Love can often be misguided and do as much harm as good, but respect can do only good. It assumes that the other person's stature is as large as one's own, his rights as reasonable, his needs as important.”

“The giving of love and understanding is an education in itself.”

“A man sits as many risks as he runs.”

“Risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.”

“The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you think you can only do a little.”

“I don't mean go out and get violent; but at the same time you should never be nonviolent unless you run into some nonviolence. I'm nonviolent with those who are nonviolent with me. But when you drop that violence on me, then you've made me go insane, and I'm not responsible for what I do.”

“Anything we destroy in ourselves we destroy in others. Our falls lower others and throw them down; we owe it to our fellows to keep upright, in order that they too may keep their feet.”

“Up to a certain point it is good for us to know that there are people in the world who will give us love and unquestioned loyalty to the limit of their ability. I doubt, however, if it is good for us to feel assured of this without the accompanying obligation of having to justify this devotion by our behavior.”
