Twenty-five or thirty years ago it was natural for a girl to look forward to marriage as embodying all that was of consequence in ...life. Not to have done so would have stamped the bold Philistine with the fatal brand of eccentricity; and had she perchance gone yet farther and dared to fling conventionality to the winds by earning her bread in a sphere of employment hitherto confined to the sterner sex, her genteel acquaintances would have passed by on the other side, not so much from a snobbish sense of superiority as from a deep-rooted conviction that the unfortunate woman in question had deliberately plunged into the very vortex of sin and humiliation.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
We look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expression--everywhere i...n the world. The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way--everywhere in the world. The third is freedom from want ... everywhere in the world. The fourth is freedom from fear ... anywhere in the world.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I look forward with hope to increasing the already good feeling between the South and the other sections of the country. My chief ...purpose is not to affect a change in the electoral vote of the Southern States. That is a secondary consideration. What I look forward to is an increase in the tolerance of political views of all kinds and their advocacy throughout the South, and the existence of a remarkable political opposition in every State, and even more than this, to an increased feeling on the part of all the people of the South that this Government is their Government, and that its officers in their States are their officers. The consideration of this question can not, however, be complete without full reference to the Negro race, its progress, and its present condition.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
A spirit of innovation is generally the result of a selfish temper and confined views. People will not look forward to posterity, ...who never look backward to their ancestors.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The consistent anarchist ... should be a socialist, but a socialist of a particular sort. He will not only oppose alienated and sp...ecialized labor and look forward to the appropriation of capital by the whole body of workers, but he will also insist that this appropriation be direct, not exercised by some elite force acting in the name of the proletariat.... Some sort of council communism is the natural form of revolutionary socialism in an industrial society. It reflects the intuitive understanding that democracy is largely a sham when the industrial system is controlled by any form of autocratic elite, whether of owners, managers, and technocrats, a "vanguard" party, or a State bureaucracy.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
It's interesting to leave a place, interesting even to think about it. Leaving reminds us of what we can part with and what we can...'t, then offers us something new to look forward to, to dream about.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
So different are the colours of life, as we look forward to the future, or backward to the past; and so different the opinions and... sentiments which this contrariety of appearance naturally produces, that the conversation of the old and young ends generally with contempt or pity on either side.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

The girl must early be impressed with the idea that she is to be "a hand, not a mouth"; a worker, and not a drone, in the great hi...ve of human activity. Like the boy, she must be taught to look forward to a life of self-dependence, and early prepare herself for some trade or profession.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
