I write mainly for the kindly race of women. I am their sister, and in no way exempt from their sorrowful lot. I have drank [sic] ...the cup of their limitations to the dregs, and if my experience can help any sad or doubtful woman to outleap her own shadow, and to stand bravely out in the sunshine to meet her destiny, whatever it may be, I shall have done well; I have not written this book in vain.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Eminent spiritualists shall have an incapacity of putting their act or word aloof from them, and seeing it bravely for the nothing... it is. Beware of the man who says, "I am on the eve of a revelation."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I think that the heroism which at this day would make on us the impression of Epaminondas and Phocion must be that of a domestic c...onqueror. He who shall bravely and gracefully subdue this Gorgon of Convention and Fashion, and show men how to lead a clean, handsome and heroic life amid the beggarly elements of our cities and villages; whoso shall teach me how to eat my meat and take my repose and deal with men, without any shame following, will restore the life of man to splendor, and make his own name dear to all history.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
If the accumulated wealth of the past generations is thus tainted,--no matter how much of it is offered to us,--we must begin to c...onsider if it were not the nobler part to renounce it, and to put ourselves in primary relations with the soil and nature, and abstaining from whatever is dishonest and unclean, to take each of us bravely his part, with his own hands, in the manual labor of the world.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
A great man quotes bravely, and will not draw on his invention when his memory serves him with a word as good. What he quotes, he ...fills with his own voice and humour, and the whole cyclopedia of his table-talk is presently believed to be his own.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
This is my decree. The bodies of those who died well and bravely by my side shall be delivered to the City of the Dead. Fine linen... and armor shall be their burial garments. They shall rest in tombs of stone, and, for their comfort in the second life, they shall have ample treasure. To each man, three measures of gold and nine measures of silver; one vessel each of onyx and alabaster; food and wine in plenty. All this and all honor shall each man enjoy in the second life. There we shall meet again, to stand side by side and serve. 'Til then, farewell. The gods of Egypt have spoken.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I pray that when historians write the story of this time, of our lives, that it may be recorded that this president tried--tried t...o lead his nation with justice and with compassion, and with courage; and there was faith, and there was firmness in his heart. May it further be written that the people of the United States cast out their doubts, looked with great pride on their achievements, and bravely made of this land and this world a brighter, happier place for all mankind. This is our choice. This is our decision. Let us all be greatly determined that this society shall survive and this society shall succeed. And what it should be will be for all time to come.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Lying increases the creative faculties, expands the ego, lessens the friction of social contacts.... It is only in lies, wholehear...tedly and bravely told, that human nature attains through words and speech the forebearance, the nobility, the romance, the idealism, that--being what it is--it falls so short of in fact and in deed.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
