Women who set a low value of themselves make life hard for all women.

Humanity has to travel a hard road to wisdom, and it has to travel it with bleeding feet.

The horse on the treadmill may be very discontented, but he is not disposed to tell his troubles, for he cannot stop to talk.

Have we not the brains to think? Hands to work? Hearts to feel? And lives to live?

I want to leave something behind when I go; some small legacy of truth, some word that will shine in a dark place.

War proves nothing. To kill a man does not prove that he was in the wrong. Bloodletting cannot change men's spirits, neither can the evil of men's thoughts be driven out by blows. If I go to my neighbor's house, and break her furniture, and smash her pictures, and bind her children captive, it does not prove that I am fitter to live than she - yet according to ethics of nations it does. I have conquered her and she must pay me for my trouble; and her house and all that is left in it belongs to my heirs and successors, forever. That is war!

The good is the greatest rival of the best.
