We will have to want peace, want it enough to pay for it, before it becomes an accepted rule.

I think it is impossible for one human being really to know another without first knowing and being at peace with himself.

Nearly all great civilizations that perished did so because they had crystallized, because they were incapable of adapting themselves to new conditions, new methods, new points of view. It is as though people would rather die than change.

The battle for the individual rights of women is one of long standing and none of us should countenance anything which undermines it.

When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die.

For instance, it is certain that women do not want a woman for President. Nor would they have the slightest confidence in her ability to fulfill the functions of that office.

... the next war will be a war in which people not armies will suffer, and our boasted, hard-earned civilization will do us no good. Cannot the women rise to this great opportunity and work now, and not have the double horror, if another war comes, of losing their loved ones, and knowing that they lifted no finger when they might have worked hard?
