You must do the thing you think you cannot do

Classic Eleanor Roosevelt, one of America's greatest First Ladies. Remind yourself and others to find courage within yourself. The whole quote is just beautiful: "You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do." quotes, quotations, roosevelt, eleanor, president, USA, patriotism, happy, optimistic, courage, confidence, retro, strength, vintage, women, love, peace, cool, FDR, famous, feminism, pride, sociology,inspirational

A boy takes notice

Mon, 24 Nov 2008 21:52:23 -0500

In this early 20th century photograph, a suffragist is silently standing in a crowd of men with her sign "Help us to win the vote"; what really struck me was the boy looking up at the sign. Everyone else is looking at her or the camera... the only one paying attention to the message was this boy. What a beautiful image of hope in younger generations. women, children, suffrage, vote, election, america, politics, history, vintage, retro, feminism, pride, old, hope, love, respect, youth, progressive, politics, liberal, left, sociology, inspirational, 1800s, 1900s, 19th century, 20th century, historic
