It is unconscionable that 10,000 boys have died in Vietnam. If 10,000 American women had mind enough they could end the war, if they were committed to the task, even if it meant going to jail.

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

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

You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.

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

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