the matrimonial shoe pinches me.

youth is always sure that change must mean something better.

All my life long I have been sensible of the injustice constantly done to women. Since I have had to fight the world single-handed, there has not been one day I have not smarted under the wrongs I have had to bear, because I was not only a woman, but a woman doing a man's work, without any man, husband, son, brother or friend, to stand at my side, and to see some semblance of justice done me. I cannot forget, for injustice is a sixth sense, and rouses all the others.

For still I see that forethought spares afterthought and after-sorrow.

In all troublous events we may find comfort, though it be only in the negative admission that things might have been worse.

To forgive freely, is what we owe to our enemy; to forget not, is what we owe to ourselves.

It is always the simple that produces the marvelous.
