“White men have always controlled their wives’ wages.”

What an absurd notion that women have not intellectual and moral faculties sufficent for anything else but domestic concerns!

The prolonged slavery of woman is the darkest page in human history.

The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these.

I do not consider divorce an evil by any means. It is just as much a refuge for women married to brutal men as Canada was to the slaves of brutal masters.

I will cut off this right arm of mine before I will ask for the ballot for the Negro and not for the woman.

To be wedded to an idea may be, after all, the holiest and happiest of marriages.

Wherever, on the face of the globe or on the page of history, you show me a disfranchised class, I will show you a degraded class of labor.

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.

A permissive government is a government that leaves control to other sources.

The next time you’re disappointed, don’t panic. Don’t give up. Just be patient and let God remind you He’s still in control.

It is a mistake to suppose that the whole issue is how to free man. The issue is to improve the way in which he is controlled.

I really want people to understand that nobody is perfect and that things happen in life beyond our control.

Even when we lose control of everything around us, we still have control over our thoughts.

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day.

Happiness finds you when your means to control is out of the spotlight.

Luck is of little moment to the great general, for it is under the control of his intellect and his judgment.
