Be not too strict - too far east is west. You may lose all by demanding all.

move not in your anger; it is like putting to sea in a tempest.

Old age is the verdict of life.

Mediocrity is always in a rush; but whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing with consideration. For genius is nothing more nor less than doing well what anyone can do badly.

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.

the matrimonial shoe pinches me.

There is no corner too quiet, or too far away, for a woman to make sorrow in it.
