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.

The good is the greatest rival of the best.

No nation ever rises higher than its women.

thought without expression is dynamic and gathers volume by repression. Evolution when blocked and suppressed becomes revolution.

By nice women . . . you probably mean selfish women who have no more thought for the underprivileged, overworked women than a pussycat in a sunny window for the starving kitten in the street. Now in that sense I am not a nice woman, for I do care.

the grief that can be turned into words soon heals.

Women had first to convince the world that they had souls and then that they had minds and then it came on to this matter of political entity and the end is not yet.
