Presence

Good way to prevent Loshon Hara.....

Very Platonic.

Great quote. I'm pretty sure her first name is spelled "Eleanor," though. She has a few really great quotes. Others attributed to First Lady Roosevelt include:

"A woman is like a tea bag--you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water."

"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."

And perhaps most famously:

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

This last one is from her book, "This Is My Story," published in 1937. So it's more than attributed; it's documented.

I cannot help but notice that the entire aphorism discusses people. Whatever that suggests.
