I want to stand by my country, but I cannot vote for war.

I worked for suffrage for years, and got it. I've worked for peace for 55 years and haven't come close.

War is the slaughter of human beings, temporarily regarded as enemies, on as large a scale as possible.

If I had my life to live over, I would do it all again, but this time I would be nastier.

Men and women are like right and left hands: it doesn't make sense not to use both.

As a woman I can't go to war, and I refuse to send anyone else.

The most disappointing feature of working for a cause is that so few people have a philosophy of life. We used to say, in the suffrage movement, that we could trust the woman who believed in suffrage, but we could never trust the woman who just wanted to vote.
