Image
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.

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.

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.
