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

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

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

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.

Establish democracy at home, based on human rights as superior to property rights. . . .

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

Go! Go! Go! It makes no difference where, just so you go! go! go! Remember, at the first opportunity, go!
