Please know that I am aware of the hazards. I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be a challenge to others.

No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.

Never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn't be done. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life the process is its own reward. Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And if they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.

Courage is the price that Life exacts for granting peace, The soul that knows it not, knows no release, From little things Knows not the livid loneliness of fear Nor mountain heights where bitter joy can hear The sound of wings.

Please let us not interfere with the other's work or play, nor let the world see our private joys or disagreements. In this connection I may have to keep some place where I can go to be myself, now and then, for I cannot guarantee to endure at all times the confinements of even an attractive cage.

How can Life grant us boon of living, compensateFor dull grey ugliness and pregnant hateUnless we dareThe soul's dominion? Each time we make a choice, we payWith courage to behold the resistless day,And count it fair.
