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

We all need one another; much and often. Just as every human creature needs a place to be alone in, a sacred, private "home" of his own, so all human creatures need a place to be together in, from the two who can show each other their souls uninterruptedly, to the largest throng that can throb and stir in unison.

To attain happiness in another world we need only to believe something, while to secure it in this world we must do something.

If we once admit that our life is here for the purpose of race-improvement, then we question any religion which does not improve the race, or the main force of which evaporates, as it were, directing our best efforts toward the sky.... Improvement in the human race is not accomplished by extracting any number of souls and placing them in heaven, or elsewhere. It must be established on earth, either through achievement in social service, or through better children.

A man does not have to stay at home all day, in order to love it; why should a woman?

What we do modifies us more than what is done to us.

What would have been the effect upon religion if it had come to us through the minds of women?
