You take people as far as they will go, not as far as you would like them to go.

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.

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

I may be the first woman member of Congress, but I won’t be the last.

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

Small use it will be to save democracy for the race if we cannot save the race for democracy.

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