I received a most amusing postcard the other morning. Unfortunately, it was not signed in a readable manner so I cannot answer it privately. But it comes from Moblie, Ala., and says: 'Dear Mrs. Roosevelt: You have not answered my question, the amount of Negro blood you have in your veins, if any.' I am afraid none of us know how much nor what kind of blood we have in our veins, since chemically it is all the same. And most of us cannot trace our ancestry more than a few generations.
Eleanor RooseveltIf you lose money you lose much, If you lose friends you lose more, If you lose faith you lose all.
Eleanor RooseveltAlways be on time. Never try to make any personal engagements. Do as little talking as humanly possible. Never be disturbed by anything. Always do what you're told to do as quickly as possible. Remember to lean back in a parade, so that people can see your husband. Don't get too fat to ride three on a seat. Get out of the way as quickly as you're not needed.
Eleanor RooseveltWhen will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?
Eleanor RooseveltIt takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know.
