If you want to miss your crown, follow the crowd. If you want to wear the crown, go alone and be yourself.

About This Quote

If you want to miss your crown, follow the crowd. If you want to wear the crown, go alone and be yourself. These words were written by Eleanor Roosevelt. She was president of the United States when she said them at a dinner in New York City in 1941.

They say if we follow the crowd we will find our way blocked. If we go alone and be ourselves we will find that we will stand out against the crowd and be different and unique and that is what is important in life.
