One should not run on a new road.

Perhaps when the light of heaven shows us clearly the pitfalls and dangers of the earth road that led to the heavenly city, our sweetest songs of gratitude will be not for the troubles we have conquered, but for those we have escaped.

It is always the simple that produces the marvelous.

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

It is only in sorrow bad weather masters us; in joy we face the storm and defy it.

To take offence is a great folly, and to give offence is a great folly - I know not which is the greater.

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.
