“Let Your Tools Be Equal to the Task.”

Your game is to attack on whichever flank you can best conceal your advance, or, still better, on both flanks simultaneously.

When a horse wants to display himself, he lifts his neck up high and flexes his poll haughtily, and picks his legs up freely, and keeps his tail up.

And even as you’re working to ensure the health of your army, you must remember to take care of your own.

A man may hate cruelty and lies, but if he’s never given an opportunity to show what he’s made of, no one will remember him when he dies.

Nothing that is really good and admirable is granted by the gods to men without some effort and application.

Men, the enemy troops you can see are all that stands between us and the place we have for so long been determined to reach. We must find a way to eat them alive!

Moderation in all things healthful; total abstinence from all things harmful.

He who marries a beautiful woman in hopes of being happy with her knows not but that even she herself may be the cause of all his uneasinesses.

The man who doesn’t know his own ability is ignorant of himself.

In my experience, men who respond to good fortune with modesty and kindness are harder to find than those who face adversity with courage.

Anything forced is not beautiful.

Excess of grief for the dead is madness; for it is an injury to the living, and the dead know it not.

Whether in industry or in politics, leaders should be building a new, more flexible order for the imperiled generations to come.

We’re all going to die, but does that mean we have to be buried alive?

It is no disgrace but honorable rather to steal, except such things as the law forbids.

I am a stranger in all countries.

We ask only for justice and equal rights-the right to vote, the right to our own earnings, equality before the law.

When the passage “All men are born free and equal,” when that passage was being written were not some of the signers legalised owners of slaves?

Women’s property has been taxed, equally with that of men’s, to sustain colleges endowed by the states; but they have not been permitted to enter those high seminaries of learning.

This idea that the employment of women, the movement of women outside the home into the work world, and their demand for equality is somehow responsible for increasing juvenile delinquency or the increase in divorce rate, is just so much bullshit.

Men and women shall have equal rights throughout the United States and every place subject to its jurisdiction.

I never doubted that equal rights was the right direction. Most reforms, most problems are complicated. But to me there is nothing complicated about ordinary equality.

In the adjustment of the new order of things, we women demand an equal voice; we shall accept nothing less.

There are whole precincts of voters in this country whose united intelligence does not equal that of one representative American woman.
