I pray every single moment of my life; not on my knees but with my work. My prayer is to lift women to equality with men. Work and worship are one with me.

This is rather different from the receptions I used to get fifty years ago. They threw things at me then but they were not roses.

Marriage, to woman as to man, must be a luxury, not a necessity; an incident of life, not all of it.

Sweeter even than to have had the joy of caring for children of my own has it been to me to help bring about a better state of things for mothers generally, so their unborn little ones could not be willed away from them.

Cyling has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world

It is perfectly right for a gentleman to say "ladies and gentlemen," but a lady should say, "gentlemen and ladies." You mention your friend's name before you do your own. I always feel like rebuking any woman who says, "ladies and gentlemen." It is a lack of good manners.

Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation.
