You always admire what you really don't understand. - Eleanor Roosevelt

As for accomplishments, I just did what I had to do as things came along.

In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.

talking too much is a far greater social fault than talking too little.

The war for freedom will never really be won because the price of freedom is constant vigilance over ourselves and over our Government.

To undo a mistake is always harder than not to create one originally but we seldom have the foresight. Therefore we have no choice but to try to correct our past mistakes.

Always 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.
