Most people aren't appreciated enough, and the bravest things we do in our lives are usually known only to ourselves. No one throw...s ticker tape on the man who chose to be faithful to his wife, on the lawyer who didn't take the drug money, or the daughter who held her tongue again and again. All this anonymous heroism.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I avoid talking before the youth of the age as I would dancing before them: for if one's tongue don't move in the steps of the day..., and thinks to please by its old graces, it is only an object of ridicule.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
To regard one's immortality as an exchange of matter is as strange as predicting the future of a violin case once the expensive vi...olin it held has broken and lost its worth.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I mind how once we lay such a transparent summer morning, How you settled your head athwart my hips and gently turn'd over ... />upon me, And parted the shirt from my bosom-bone, and plunged your tongue to my bare-stript heart, And reach'd till you felt my beard, and reach'd till you held my feet.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Give us that grand word "woman" once again, And let's have done with "lady"; one's a term... Full of fine force, strong, beautiful, and firm, Fit for the noblest use of tongue or pen; And one's a word for lackeys.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The comparison between Coleridge and Johnson is obvious in so far as each held sway chiefly by the power of his tongue. The differ...ence between their methods is so marked that it is tempting, but also unnecessary, to judge one to be inferior to the other. Johnson was robust, combative, and concrete; Coleridge was the opposite. The contrast was perhaps in his mind when he said of Johnson: "his bow-wow manner must have had a good deal to do with the effect produced."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account... of sex. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. Suffragists, hear this last call to a suffrage convention! The officers of the National American Woman Suffrage Association hereby call their State auxiliaries, through their elected delegates, to meet in annual convention at Chicago, Congress Hotel, February 12th to 18th, inclusive. In other days our members and friends have been summoned to annual conventions to disseminate the propaganda for their common cause, to cheer and encourage each other, to strengthen their organized influence, to counsel as to ways and means of insuring further progress. At this time they are called to rejoice that the struggle is over, the aim achieved and the women of the nation about to enter into the enjoyment of their hard-earned political liberty. Of all the conventions held within the past fifty-one years, this will prove the most momentous. Few people live to see the actual and final realization of hopes to which they have devoted their lives. That privilege is ours.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
