When will the men do something besides extend congratulations? I would rather have President Roosevelt say one word to Congress in... favor of amending the Constitution to give women the suffrage than to praise me endlessly!LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Mr. Roosevelt, this is my principal request--it is almost the last request I shall ever make of anybody. Before you leave the pres...idential chair, recommend Congress to submit to the Legislatures a Constitutional Amendment which will enfranchise women, and thus take your place in history with Lincoln, the great emancipator. I beg of you not to close your term of office without doing this.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Turn 'em loose.... Wherever they go, they'll be on my land. My land. We're here and we're gonna stay here. Gimme ten years and I'l...l have that brand on the gates of the greatest ranch in Texas. The big house'll be down by the river, the corrals and the barns behind it. It'll be a good place to live in. Ten years and I'll have the Red River "D" on more cattle than you've looked at anywhere. I'll have that brand on enough beef to feed the whole country. Good beef for hungry people. Beef to make 'em strong, to make 'em grow. But it takes work, it takes sweat, and it takes time, lots of time. It takes years.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
A river seems a magic thing. A magic, moving, living part of the very earth itself--for it is from the soil, both from its depth a...nd from its surface, that a river has its beginning.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

... [Washington] is always an entertaining spectacle. Look at it now. The present President has the name of Roosevelt, marked faci...al resemblance to Wilson, and no perceptible aversion, to say the least, to many of the policies of Bryan. The New Deal, which at times seems more like a pack of cards thrown helter skelter, some face up, some face down, and then snatched in a free-for-all by the players, than it does like a regular deal, is going on before our interested, if puzzled eyes.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
To be an editor, as I was. Then to lie here close by the river over the place... Where the sewage flows from the village, And the empty cans and garbage are dumped, And abortions are hidden.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Honestly, the real trouble is ... a gang which unfortunately survives--made up mostly of those who were isolationists before Decem...ber seventh and who are actuated today by various motives in their effort to instill disunity in the country.... The best comment I have heard was by Elmer Davis.... "Some people want the United States to win so long as England loses. Some people want the United States to win so long as Russia loses. Some people want the United States to win so long as Roosevelt loses."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
