You must add this quote, “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”-Eleanor Roosevelt.

“It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.”

“You have to accept whatever comes, and the only important thing is that you meet it with the best you have to give.”

After recently losing my beloved husband and mother within 2 months of each other, these 2 quotes have become my mantras. Thank you, bella Grace, for sharing the insightful wisdom of a great lady.

I have been using a quote that recently I found to be by Eleanor Roosevelt. “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; that’s why they call it the present.” My Grandmother, Leora, was strong like Eleanor. I regret not getting to know her better. I will share the Eleanor Roosevelt quotes with people to encourage them and myself. Especially my daughters!

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”

Has always been my favorite quote of Eleanor Roosevelt, as an African American woman I appreciate her interest in the rights of all people especially black people. She was responsible for Marian Anderson singing at the white house and on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, when the DAR Daughters of the American Revolution wouldn’t allow Marian Anderson to sing at the constitution hall. Eleanor Roosevelt also ended her honorary membership in DAR in protest. She had a heart for people and she remains one of the most influential first ladies of all times.
