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

Governments never do any great good things from mere principle, from mere love of justice.

I have given my life and all I am to it, and now I want my last act to be to give it all I have, to the last cent.

She who succeeds in gaining the mastery of the bicycle will gain the mastery of life.

It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death; but oh, thrice guilty is he who drove her to the desperation which impelled her to the crime.

Join the union, girls, and together say Equal Pay for Equal Work.

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.

What you should do is to say to outsiders that a Christian has neither more nor less rights in our association than an atheist.

Being persons, then, women are citizens; and no state has a right to make any new law, or to enforce any old law, that shall abridge their privileges or immunities.

Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputations – can never effect a reform.

Organize, agitate, educate, must be our war cry.

No genuine equality, no real freedom, no true manhood or womanhood can exist on any foundation save that of pecuniary independence.

I do not demand equal pay for any women save those who do equal work in value. Scorn to be coddled by your employers; make them understand that you are in their service as workers, not as women.

Whoever controls work and wages, controls morals.

Suffrage is the pivotal right.

I do not assume that woman is better than man. I do assume that she has a different way of looking at things.

Let me give you a tip on a clue to men’s characters: the man who damns money has obtained it dishonorably; the man who respects it has earned it.

I’m open to love. But guys should have to earn it. Because the minute they get it, they want something else.

Speak not injurious words neither in jest nor earnest; scoff at none although they give occasion

A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned.

You have to remember something: Everybody pities the weak; jealousy you have to earn.

It is always interesting to see people in dead earnest, from whatever cause, and earthquakes make everybody earnest.

Money is not everything. Make sure you earn a lot before speaking such nonsense.

Earning happiness means doing good and working, not speculating and being lazy. Laziness may look inviting, but only work gives you true satisfaction.
