Eleanor Roosevelt

No one can make you feel inferior;

without your consent.

This quote is one that helps me get through my day, If you know me then you know I have in the past let people walk all over me. I can blame this that and the other thing but I have come to realize that the only reason anyone "walks all over me" Is because I let them. Well about a year ago I decided I had enough and began to become the woman I know that I am. Starting with living by those words. I began to stand up for myself instead of just standing by and being taken advantage of. I have shocked some people and amazed others with my transformation; but it has not been for others that I have been doing this it is for me and me alone. Today I went looking for other quotes by this strong, wise woman and found a good number of them and Here they are for you to enjoy as well

• You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

• People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.

• A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.

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

• I think that somehow, we learn who we really are and then live with that decision.

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

• Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both.

• Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you’ll be criticized anyway. You’ll be damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.

• Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all 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.
