To speak broadly, the troubles of life as we find them are mainly traceable to the heart or the purse.

A house does not need a wife any more than it needs a husband.

If fifty men did all the work, / And gave the price to five, / And let those five make all the rules - / You'd say the fifty men were fools, / Unfit to be alive.

But reason has no power against feeling, and feeling older than history is no light matter.

The first duty of a human being is to assume the right functional relationship to society - more briefly, to find your real job, and do it.

The labor of women in the house, certainly, enables men to produce more wealth than they otherwise could; and in this way women are economic factors in society. But so are horses.

Only as we live, think, feel, and work outside the home, do we become humanly developed, civilized, socialized.
