Eleanor Roosevelt
A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.
Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
It is not fair to ask of others what you are unwilling to do yourself. I could not at any age
be content to take my place in a corner by the fireside and simply look on.
