With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts

We searched for this line across Eleanor Roosevelt's documented body of work — her syndicated "My Day" columns (1935–1962), her autobiographies (This Is My Story, This I Remember, On My Own), You Learn by Living, and her public speeches held by the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library — and found no instance of "With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts" in any primary text authored by her. The book matches we turned up, including Jeff Hutchens's The Coaching Calendar (2013), Jill Badonsky's The Muse Is In (2013), and several later inspirational titles, all credit her, but these are modern quote-collection contexts that repeat the attribution without pointing to any original column, letter, or transcript. One lead worth noting is that the phrasing is also frequently attached to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in English translation; however, we could not tie that to a specific Goethe work, translation, and page, so it remains a suggestive echo rather than a documented competing origin under our standard. Similarly, names like Maya Angelou and C.S. Lewis surface around comparable "new day" aphorisms, but none is credibly established as the author of this exact line. Because the quote is widely and commonly credited to Eleanor Roosevelt yet no primary source confirms it, and because no alternative origin can be cited with the specificity our policy requires, the honest classification rests on the absence of a documentary trail rather than on proof of another author. Our assessment is attributed.
