Every accent, every emphasis, every modulation of voice, was so perfectly well turned and well placed, that, without being interes...ted in the subject, one could not help being pleased with the discourse; a pleasure of much the same kind with that received from an excellent piece of music. This is an advantage itinerant preachers have over those who are stationary, as the latter can not well improve their delivery of a sermon by so many rehearsals.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Along the highway, all but lost among blatant neon lights flashing 'Whiskey' and 'Dance and Dine,' are crudely daubed warnings ere...cted by itinerant evangelists, announcing that 'Jesus is soon coming,' or exhorting the traveler to 'prepare to meet thy God.'LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Tommy: You're gonna have trouble with that one. Milo: Oh no I'm not. He's just not housebroken yet, that's all.... Tommy: When are you going to stop getting yourself involved with young itinerant artists? It never works. If they're no good, you're ashamed. And if they are, they get independent.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
There is a great stir about colored men getting their rights, but not a word about colored women, and if colored men get their rig...hts, and not colored women theirs, you see the colored men will be masters over the women, and it will be just as bad as it was before.

I have done a great deal of work, as much as a man, but did not get so much pay. I used to work in the field and bind grain, keepi...ng up with the cradler; but men doing no more, got twice as much pay.... We do as much, we eat as much, we want as much.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
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.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I don't read such small stuff as letters, I read men and nations. I can see through a millstone, though I can't see through a spel...ling-book. What a narrow idea a reading qualification is for a voter!LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I am sometimes told that "Women aint fit to vote. Why, don't you know that a woman had seven devils in her: and do you suppose a w...oman is fit to rule the nation?" Seven devils aint no account; a man had a legion in him.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I must sojourn once to the ballot-box before I die. I hear the ballot-box is a beautiful glass globe, so you can see all the votes... as they go in. Now, the first time I vote I'll see if the woman's vote looks any different from the rest--if it makes any stir or commotion. If it don't inside, it need not outside.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
