No genuine equality, no real freedom, no true manhood or womanhood can exist on any foundation save that of pecuniary independence.... As a right over a man's subsistence is a power over his moral being, so a right over a woman's subsistence enslaves her will, degrades her pride and vitiates her whole moral nature.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Catholics think of grace as a supernatural power which God dispenses, primarily through the Church and its sacraments, to purify t...he souls of naturally sinful human beings, and render them capable of holiness.... Protestants think of grace as an attribute of God rather than a gift from God. It is a shorthand term signifying God's determination to love, forgive, and save His human children, however little they deserve it.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
On starlight nights I used to pace up and down those long, cold streets, scowling at the little, sleeping houses on either side, w...ith their storm-windows and covered back porches. They were flimsy shelters, most of them poorly built of light wood, with spindle porch-posts horribly mutilated by the turning-lathe. Yet for all their frailness, how much jealousy and envy and unhappiness some of them managed to contain!

To rescue our children we will have to let them save us from the power we embody: we will have to trust the very difference that t...hey forever personify. And we will have to allow them the choice, without fear of death: that they may come and do likewise or that they may come and that we will follow them, that a little child will lead us back to the child we will always be, vulnerable and wanting and hurting for love and for beauty.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Lift not thy spear against the Muses' bower: The great Emathian conqueror bid spare... The house of Pindarus, when temple and tower Went to the ground; and the repeated air Of sad Electra's poet had the power To save the Athenian walls from ruin bare.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Take away from the courts, if it could be taken away, the power to issue injunctions in labor disputes, and it would create a priv...ileged class among the laborers and save the lawless among their number from a most needful remedy available to all men for the protection of their business interests against unlawful invasion.... The secondary boycott is an instrument of tyranny, and ought not to be made legitimate.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
