Eleanor had one doozy of a sense of humor!

"I had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalog: 'No good in a bed, but fine against a wall.'"
- Eleanor Roosevelt-

From what I've read dear Eleanor would have fit into this forum very nicely. She had the heart of a Dotie, the humor of a JJ and the sting of a Chatty...an all around good old gal!!!

Thanks for sharing. She was a hero to my mother and I always love a good Eleanor story.

Found this one of her's...

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

I have GOT to read something on her. Can't believe I haven't!

I do admire the lady. She didn't have any qualms about saying what she felt like and standing by what she said.

One of my favorite quotes is

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
