I wake up every morning with a great desire to live joyfully.

Around me I saw women overworked and underpaid, doing men's work at half men's wages, not because their work was inferior, but because they were women.

But we are learning from the teaching and example of Jesus that life itself is a religion, that nothing is more sacred than a human being, that the end of all right institutions, whether the home or the church or an educational establishment, or a government, is the development of the human soul.

[When asked: "If women voted, would they not have to sit on juries?":] Many women would be glad of a chance to sit on anything. There are women who stand up and wash six days in the week at 75 cents a day who would like to take a vacation and sit on a jury at $1.50.

It is useless to talk virtue to a starving girl.

Any woman who does not live for unselfish service is a useless cumberer of the earth.

Think of submitting our measure to the advice of politicians! I would as soon submit the subject of the equality of a goose to a fox.
