I am a believer in women, in their ability to do things and in their influence and power. Women set the standards for the world, and it is for us, women in Canada, to set the standards high.

Children are great idealists, until the stupidity of their elders puts out the fires of the aspirations.

I saw what could be done with words, for I had a vision of a new world as I talked.

The greatest insult came at the marriage ceremony when the minister asked 'who giveth this woman,' and some brother, or father or other man, unblushingly said he did, as though it were entirely a commercial transaction between men.

Men alone are not capable of making laws for men and women.

Women are going to form a chain, a greater sisterhood than the world has ever known.

No nation ever rises higher than its women.
