“People who take the risk make a tremendous discovery: The more things you care about, and the more intensely you care, the more alive you are. This capacity for caring can illuminate any relationship: marriage, family, friendships-even the ties of affection that often join humans and animals.

You have to be willing to act, to make the first move.” PeopleFirstsHumansCareMovingBornAnimalAliveRiskWillingDiscoveryCapacityAffectionCaringSurrenderIndifferenceTiesDiminishArmorFamily FriendsHumans And Animals Author:Arthur Gordon Webster

“It is always disagreeable to take stands. It is always easier to compromise, always easier to let things go. To many women, and I am one of them, it is extraordinarily difficult to care about anything enough to cause disagreement or unpleasant feelings, but I have come to the conclusion that this must be done for a time until we can prove our strength and demand respect for our wishes. We cannot even be of real service in the coming campaign and speak as a united body of women unless we have the respect of men and show that when we express a wish, we are willing to stand by it.” MenRealDoneEnoughShowsFeelingsBodyCareSpeakWishCausesDifficultUnitedWillingEasierDemandProveCampaignsConclusionCompromiseDisagreementDisagreeableLetting Things Go Book:Love, Eleanor: Eleanor Roosevelt and Her Friends Source: Love, Eleanor: Eleanor Roosevelt and Her Friends
