"YESTERDAY IS HISTORY.  TOMORROW IS MYSTERY.  TODAY IS A GIFT."

~ Eleanor Roosevelt (1884 - 1962)  U.S. First Lady, humanitarian and diplomat, niece of Theodore Roosevelt, wife of Franklin Roosevelt.  Involved in a wide range of liberal causes, including civil and women's rights, she became a delegate to the United Nations after her husband's death in 1945, and, as chair of the UN Commission on Human Rights, played a major role in drafting the Declaration of Human Rights (1948)*
