Somewhere along the line of development we discover what we really are and then make our real decision for which we are responsible. make that decision primarily for yourself because you can never really live anyone else's lie, not even your child's. the influence you exert is through your own life and what you become yourself.

Somewhere Along The Line Of Development We

More From Eleanor Roosevelt

You can never really live anyone else's life, not even your child's. the influence you exert is through your own life, and what you've become yourself.
Children Transcendentalism Influence
You exert a certain degree of influence, and be it ever so small, it affects some person or persons, and for the results of the influence you exert you are held accountable. you, therefore, whether you acknowledge it or not, have assumed an importance before god and man that cannot be overlooked.
Men Degrees Influence
To affirm life is to deepen, to make more inward, and to exalt the will-to-life. at the same time the man who has become a thinking being feels a compulsion to give every will-to-live the same reverence for life that he gives to his own. he experiences that other life as his own. he accepts as being good: to preserve life, to raise to its highest value life which is capable of development; and as being evil: to destroy life, to injure life, to repress life which is capable of development. this is the absolute, fundamental principle of the moral, and it is a necessity of thought.
Philosophical Thinking Animal
Above all, avoid lies, all lies, especially the lie to yourself. keep watch on your own lie and examine it every hour, every minute. and avoid contempt, both of others and of yourself: what seems bad to you in yourself is purified by the very fact that you have noticed it in yourself. and avoid fear, though fear is simply the consequence of every lie. never be frightened at your own faintheartedness in attaining love, and meanwhile do not even be very frightened by your own bad acts.
Lying Watches Deceit
People need open space. people need to bring their children into an area where they can play without restriction." and i was told, "this is development." and i said, "that is not development, definitely not sustainable development, definitely not responsible development. people need fresh air. they can do without buildings. they can do without concrete. but they cannot do without fresh air.

Just by studying mathematics we can hope to make a guess at the kind of mathematics that will come into the physics of the future... if someone can hit on the right lines along which to make this development, it may lead to a future advance in which people will first discover the equations and then, after examining them, gradually learn how to apply them... my own belief is that this is a more likely line of progress than trying to guess at physical pictures.

Similar Quotes
One of the chief triumphs of modern mathematics consists in having discovered what mathematics really is.
Science Triumph Modern
You must never believe all these things which the scientists say because they always want more than they can get-they are never satisfied.
Believe Science Research
The best and safest way of philosophising seems to be, first to enquire diligently into the properties of things, and to establish those properties by experiences [experiments] and then to proceed slowly to hypotheses for the explanation of them. for hypotheses should be employed only in explaining the properties of things, but not assumed in determining them; unless so far as they may furnish experiments.
Philosophy Science Experience
...nature seems very conversant with the rules of pure mathematics, as our own mathematicians have formulated them in their studies, out of their own inner consciousness and without drawing to any appreciable extent on their experience of the outer world.
