During Prohibition days, when South Carolina was actively advertising the iodine content of its vegetables, the Hell Hole brand of... 'liquid corn' was notorious with its waggish slogan: 'Not a Goiter in a Gallon.'LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
In this great association we know no North, no South, no East, no West. This has been our pride for all these years. We have no po...litical party. We never have inquired what anybody's religion is. All we ever have asked is simply, "Do you believe in perfect equality for women?" This is the one article in our creed.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I have seen in my time two enormous extensions of the suffrage to men--one in America and one in England. But neither the negroes ...in the South nor the agricultural laborers in Great Britain had shown before they got the ballot any capacity of government; for they had never had the opportunity to take the first steps of political action. Very different has been the history of the march of women toward a recognized position in the State. We have had to prove our ability at each stage of progress, and have gained nothing without having satisfied a test of capacity.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

My country is bleeding, my people are perishing around me. But I feel as a South Carolinian, I am bound to tell the North, go on! ...go on! Never falter, never abandon the principles which you have adopted.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I have a fair amount of faith that women won't sit back and allow South Africa to become a totally male-dominated new society. The... women in South Africa have shown that they are strong, and I think they will make their voices heard.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
South Africa used to seem so far away. Then it came home to me. It began to signify the meaning of white hatred here. That was wha...t the sheets and the suits and the ties covered up, not very well. That was what the cowardly guys calling me names from their speeding truck wanted to happen to me, to all of me: to my people. That was what would happen to me if I walked around the corner into the wrong neighborhood. That was Birmingham. That was Brooklyn. That was Reagan. That was the end of reason. South Africa was how I came to understand that I am not against war; I am against losing the war.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
We joined long wagon trains moving south; we met hundreds of wagons going north; the roads east and west were crawling lines of fa...milies traveling under canvas, looking for work, for another foothold somewhere on the land.... The country was ruined, the whole world was ruined; nothing like this had ever happened before. There was no hope, but everyone felt the courage of despair.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
As a philanthropist in general, and a friend to the Polynesians in particular, I hope that these Edens of the South Seas, blessed ...with fertile soils and peopled with happy natives, many being yet uncontaminated by the contact of civilization, will long remain unspoiled in their simplicity, beauty, and purity. And as for annexation, I beg to offer up an earnest prayer--and I entreat all present and all Christians to join me in it--that the banns of that union should be forbidden until we have found for ourselves a civilization morally, mentally, and physically higher than one which has culminated in almshouses, prisons, and hospitals.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
