These have been wonderful years. How many happy, happy times we have traveled about together! Day and night, in stage coaches, on ...freight trains, over the mountains and across the prairies, hungry and tired, we have wandered. The work was sometimes hard and discouraging but those were happy and useful years.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
It is one of the most discouraging experiences I have ever had, not forgetting the time when I winked at the Queen Mother in Londo...n once.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
It would much conduce to the public benefit, if, instead of discouraging free-thinking, there was erected in the midst of this fre...e country a dianoetic academy, or seminary for free-thinkers, provided with retired chambers, and galleries, and shady walks and groves, where, after seven years spent in silence and meditation, a man might commence a genuine free-thinker, and from that time forward, have license to think what he pleased, and a badge to distinguish him from counterfeits.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I shall not be surprised if Colonel [John Charles] Fremont receives less than one hundred electoral votes. But, after all, the goo...d cause has made a great progress. Antislavery sentiment has been created and the people have been educated to a large extent. I did hope that this election would put an end to angry discussion upon this exciting topic by placing the general Government in the right position in regard to it and thereby securing to antislavery effort a foothold among those who have the evil in their midst. But further work is to be done and my sense of duty determines me to keep on in the path I have chosen ... to do what I can ... to aid in forming a public opinion on this subject which will "mitigate and finally eradicate the evil."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

The glorious dream of full father involvement in infant care will not become a widespread reality overnight. But it can happen, an...d it eventually will happen,... A lot of progress may take place in a short period of time if we just lighten up, step back, and give the guys a decent chance.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
A father who will pursue infant care tasks with ease and proficiency is simply a father who has never been led to believe he could...n't.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Let's face it. With the singular exception of breast-feeding, there is nothing about infant care that a mother is innately better ...qualified to do than a father. Yet we continue to unconsciously perpetuate the myth that men just don't have what it takes to be true partners in the process.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
