I'm sure this is familiar to most...

Children learn what they live.

If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn.

If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight.

If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy.

If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty.

If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient.

If a child lives with encouragement, he learns confidence.

If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate.

If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice.

If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith.

If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself and the world around him.

Hey, if someone said it, it's a quote.

Eleanor Roosevelt also said(this is the quote I live by)


No one can [take away] your self esteem without your permission.

(if any one can tell me the ewxact quopte there I would appreciate it..thanks)

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent"
This is from a quote in her book.
Eleanor Roosevelt, 'This Is My Story,' 1937

Here's a few more.... Eleanor was quite a wise woman.

"Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't"

"Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people"

"Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself. "

"Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art."

"It is not fair to ask of others what you are unwilling to do yourself"

"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."

"You can’t have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time."
