'No one can make you feel inferior without your consent' is the classic Eleanor Roosevelt quote -- and quote investigators have never found it in her writings; it condenses a longer 1935 remark she made about a snub. Her verified voice lives in the 'My Day' newspaper column she wrote six days a week for over 25 years, one of the largest quotable archives any public figure has left.
Do one thing every day that scares you.
