"Great leaders inspire people to have confidence..." - Quote by Eleanor Roosevelt

“For instance, it is certain that women do not want a woman for President. Nor would they have the slightest confidence in her ability to fulfill the functions of that office.”

“A day out-of-doors, someone I loved to talk with, a good book and some simple food and music - that would be rest.”

“Every woman in public life needs to develop skin as tough as rhinoceros hide.”

“To be vested with enormous authority is a fine thing; but to have the on-looking world consent to it is finer.”

“I've said many times around the world that like any government, like any country, like, any set of human institutions, we have our flaws. We've operated imperfectly. There are times we've made mistakes.”

“A well-trained mind has less difficulty in submitting to than in guiding an ill-trained mind.”

“Not every flying hero has a cape.”

“I don't really like to write at a desk. I like to write when driving in a car. ... Once you're working on it, you're working on it all the time, and sometimes stuff'll come in the middle of the night, in a dream or something. Your mind is working on it all the time.”

“How did the rose ever open its heart and give to this world all of its beauty? It felt the encouragement of Light against its being; otherwise we all remain too frightened.”
