The fate of love is that it always seems too little or too much.

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.

if a thing is to be done, there is no time like the hour that has not struck.

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

It is always the simple that produces the marvelous.
