Fame is that which is known to exist by the echo of its footsteps through congenial minds.

We can sometimes love what we do not understand, but it is impossible completely to understand what we do not love.

Have the courage to appear poor and you disarm poverty of its sharpest sting.

He that seeks popularity in art closes the door on his own genius: as he must needs paint for other minds, and not for his own.

Morally a woman has a right to the free and entire development of every faculty which God has given her to be improved and used to His honor. Socially she has a right to the protection of equal laws; the right to labor with her hands the thing that is good; to select the kind of labor which is in harmony with her condition and her powers; to exist, if need be, by her labor, or to profit others by it if she choose. These are her rights, not more nor less than the rights of the man.
