140 Eleanor Roosevelt Quotes From Her Speeches And Writings

ADVERTISEMENT

Plenty of famous quotes are known for having Eleanor Roosevelt’s trademark on them, and they have made their way into our collective consciousness. But Eleanor Roosevelt was so much more than a great speaker. Sure, she was trusted with giving speeches and appearing at campaign events in her husband’s place after he was diagnosed with a paralytic illness. Still, it’s her work as an activist for civil and human rights that contributed to her reshaping the role of a First Lady.

It’s no secret that Eleanor Roosevelt was a woman ahead of her time. Born into a wealthy family and married to one of the most prominent politicians in the United States, she was undoubtedly set up for success. But she chose to devote her privileged position to public service, becoming an activist and advocate for women’s emancipation, racial equality, and civil rights.

She already had tremendous influence during FDR’s presidency, but that influence didn’t stop when she left the White House. In fact, it was only heightened by her willingness to speak out about widespread intolerance — and she did so with passion and conviction. She was the first to recognize that the New Deal programs discriminated against African Americans, who got a disproportionate share of relief money.

Clearly, she wasn’t immune to hate. Eleanor Roosevelt often disagreed with her husband’s decisions when she thought they could harm minorities and was vocal in publicly defending Japanese Americans after the widespread anti-Asian hysteria following the attack on Pearl Harbor.

She was a force to be reckoned with, and her legacy lives on today in the hearts of many. The least we can do to celebrate such a prominent figure is to spread the inspiring words from her speeches, public appearances, and books. We put together our favorite Eleanor Roosevelt quotes that inspired the world with her wit, intelligence, and compassion.

Always on the hunt for the ultimate playlist, I scour Deezer to find the right tunes to listen to while working on my creative projects.

Writer on a quest to explore every corner of the world, one country at a time. Fueled by my love for Arcane, oversized hoodies, and weightlifting, I try my best to bring even more fun energy to Bored Panda. My cup of tea? Pop culture, funny content, sharing interesting facts about the world, and creating listicles for fellow Pandas. When I’m not crafting articles, my eyes are still glued to a screen — be it binge-watching my favorite shows, leveling up in video games, or learning Spanish with Duolingo. Always on the hunt for the ultimate playlist, I scour Deezer to find the right tunes to listen to while working on my creative projects.
