It Seems To Me That It Is

I Have Never Felt That Anything Really Mattered But Knowing That You Stood For The Things In Which You Believed And Had Done The Very Best You Could.

Courage Is More Exhilarating Than Fear And In The Long Run It Is Easier. We Do Not Have To Become Heroes Over Night. Just A Step At A Time, Meeting Each Thing That Comes Up, Seeing It Is Not As Dreadful As It Appeared, Discovering We Have The Strength To Stare It Down.

I Can't Tell You How To Succeed, But I Can Tell You How To Fail: Try To Please Everybody.

It Is Always Disagreeable To Take Stands. It Is Always Easier To Compromise, Always Easier To Let Things Go. To Many Women, And I Am One Of Them, It Is Extraordinarily Difficult To Care About Anything Enough To Cause Disagreement Or Unpleasant Feelings, But I Have Come To The Conclusion That This Must Be Done For A Time Until We Can Prove Our Strength And Demand Respect For Our Wishes. We Cannot Even Be Of Real Service In The Coming Campaign And Speak As A United Body Of Women Unless We Have The Respect Of Men And Show That When We Express A Wish, We Are Willing To Stand By It.

Ability Is Not Something To Be Saved, Like Money, In The Hope That You Can Draw Interest On It. The Interest Comes From The Spending. Unused Ability, Like Unused Muscles, Will Atrophy. It Is Tragic To Realize That The Majority Of Human Beings, Even The So-called Educated, Call Upon Only The Smallest Fraction Of Their Potential Capacity. They Leave Many Talents Dormant. They Fail To Develop Their Mental Qualities. They Are Almost Unaware Of The Degree Of Energy Upon Which They Might Call To Build A Full And Rewarding Life.
