Perhaps nature is our best assurance of immortality.
From Eleanor Roosevelt
The giving of love is an education in itself.
The only advantage of not being too good a housekeeper is that your guests are so pleased to feel how very much better they are.
You can't move so fast that you try to change the mores faster than people can accept it. That doesn't mean you do nothing, but it means that you do the things that need to be done according to priority.
You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.
Too often the great decisions are originated and given form in bodies made up wholly of men, or so completely dominated by them that whatever of special value women have to offer is shunted aside without expression.
Anyone who knows history, particularly the history of Europe, will, I think, recognize that the domination of education or of government by any one particular religious faith is never a happy arrangement for the people.
It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it.
In all our contacts it is probably the sense of being really needed and wanted which gives us the greatest satisfaction and creates the most lasting bond.
Only a man's character is the real criterion of worth.
