Love? Why ... it is what everybody feels for everybody else.

The simplest way to be happy is to do good.

We cannot freely and wisely choose the right way for ourselves unless we know both good and evil.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it. My optimism, then, does not rest on the absence of evil, but on a glad belief in the preponderance of good and a willing effort always to cooperate with the good, that it may prevail.

Life is an adventure or nothing

The woman who works for a dollar a day has as much right as any other human being to say what the conditions of her work should be.

Ruth is so loyal and gentle-hearted, we cannot help loving her, as she stands with the reapers amid the waving corn. Her beautiful, unselfish spirit shines out like a bright star in the night of a dark and cruel age. Love like Ruth's, love which can rise above conflicting creeds and deep-seated racial prejudices, is hard to find in all the world.
