My feeling is that there is nothing in life but refraining from hurting others, and comforting those who are sad.

I think if I were dying and I heard of an act of injustice, it would start me up to a moment's life again.

Our fathers had their dreams; we have ours; the generation that follows will have its own. Without dreams and phantoms man cannot exist.

Marriage has been a very rich and beautiful development of my life. Month by month as we live together we seem to come nearer to each other; and to feel a more complete fellowship. I do not feel that it in any way fetters or narrows my world: - it seems rather to enlarge it.

There is no door at which the hand of woman has knocked for admission into a new field of toil but there have been found on the other side the hands of strong and generous men eager to turn it for her, almost before she knocks.

There was never a great man who had not a great mother.

Men are like the earth and we are the moon; we turn always one side to them, and they think there is no other, because they don't see it - but there is.
