If I am asked to explain why I learned the bicycle I should say I did it as an act of grace, if not of actual religion.

Temperance is moderation in the things that are good and total abstinence from the things that are foul.

Every woman who vacates a place in the teachers' ranks and enters an unusual line of work, does two excellent things: she makes room for someone waiting for a place and helps to open a new vocation for herself and other women.

Please do not take counsel of women who are so prejudiced that, as I once heard said, they would not allow a male grasshopper to chirp on their lawn; but out of your own great heart, refuse to set an example to such folly.

The world is wide, and I will not waste my life in friction when it could be turned into momentum.

She who succeeds in gaining the mastery of the bicycle will gain the mastery of life.

I finally concluded that all failure was from a wobbling will rather than a wobbling wheel.
