Having achieved political liberty for women this organization pledges itself to make an end to the subjection of women in all its ...remaining forms. Among our tasks we emphasize these: 1. To remove all barriers of law or custom or regulation which prevent women from holding public office--the highest as well as the lowest--from entering into and succeeding in any profession, from going into or getting on in any business, from practicing any trade of joining the union of her trade. 2. So to remake the marriage laws and so to modify public opinion that the status of the woman whose chosen work is homemaking shall no longer be that of the dependent entitled to her board and keep in return for her services, but that of a full partner. 3. To rid the country of all laws which deny women access to scientific information concerning the limitation of families. 4. To re-write the laws of divorce, of inheritance, of the guardianship of children, and the laws for the regulation of sexual morality and disease, on a basis of equality, equal rights, equal responsibilities, equal standards. 5. To legitimatize [sic] all children. 6. To establish a liberal endowment of motherhood.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
This is an age of intellectual sauces, of essence, of distillation. We have "conclusions" without deductions, "abridgments of hist...ory" and "abridgments of science" without leading facts. We have "animals" for literature, "Cabinet" Encyclopaedias, "Family" Libraries, "Diffusion" Societies, and heaven knows what else! What is all this for? Not to add knowledge to the learned, but to tell points to the ignorant, without giving them the trouble to acquire the links. Oh! it is sad work. And the result will be injurious to all classes.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Parenting forces us to get to know ourselves better than we ever might have imagined we could--and in many new ways. . . . We'll d...iscover talents we never dreamed we had and fervently wish for others at moments we feel we desperately need them. As time goes on, we'll probably discover that we have more to give and can give more than we ever imagined. But we'll also find that there are limits to our giving, and that may be hard for us to accept.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
In this nation I see tens of millions of its citizens, a substantial part of its whole population, who at this very moment are den...ied the greater part of what the very lowest standards of today call the necessities of life. I see one third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished. The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

The best time to start giving your children money is when they will no longer eat it. Basically, when they don't put it in their m...ouths, they can start putting it in their bank.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
A hundredth of a second here, a hundredth of a second there--even if you put them end to end, they still only add up to one, two, ...perhaps three seconds, snatched from eternity.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The secret of culture is to learn, that a few great points steadily reappear, alike in the poverty of the obscurest farm, and in t...he miscellany of metropolitan life, and that these few are alone to be regarded,--the escape from all false ties; courage to be what we are; and love what is simple and beautiful; independence and cheerful relation, these are the essentials,--these, and the wish to serve,--to add somewhat to the well-being of men.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
