QUOTES

Let ... individuals make the most of what God has given them, have their neighbors do the same, and then do all they can to serve each other. There is no use in one man, or one nation, to try to do or be everything. It is a good thing to be dependent on each other for something, it makes us civil and peaceable.

“If women want any rights more than they's got, why don't they just take them, and not be talking about it.”

“If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these together ought to be able to turn it back and get it right side up again”

“Religion without humanity is very poor human stuff.”

“Truth is powerful and it prevails.”
