More quotes by Jane Addams
The mass of men seldom move together without an emotional incentive.
Jane Addams
Must be grounded in a philosophy whose foundation is on the solidarity of the human race, a philosophy which will not waver when the race happens to be represented by a drunken woman or an idiot boy.
Jane Addams
A very little familiarity with the poor districts of any city is sufficient to show how primitive and genuine are the neighborly relations.
Jane Addams
A wise man has told us that men are once for all so made that they prefer a rational world to believe in and live in.
Jane Addams
If in a democratic country nothing can be permanently achieved save through the masses of the people, it will be impossible to establish a higher political life than the people themselves crave.
Jane Addams
That which may have sounded like righteous teaching when it was remote and wordy, will be challenged afresh when it is obliged to simulate life itself.
Jane Addams
Life cannot be administered by definite rules and regulations that wisdom to deal with a man's difficulties comes only through some knowledge of his life and habits as a whole.
Jane Addams
We are thus brought to a conception of Democracy not merely as a sentiment which desires the well-being of all men, nor yet as a creed which believes in the essential dignity and equality of all men, but as that which affords a rule of living as well as a test of faith.
Jane Addams
It is dreadful the way all the comfortable, happy people stay off to themselves.
Jane Addams
It is possible that an individual may be successful, largely because he conserves all his powers for individual achievement and does not put any of his energy into the training which will give him the ability to act with others. The individual acts promptly, and we are dazzled by his success while only dimly conscious of the inadequacy of his code.
Jane Addams
The good we secure for ourselves is precarious and uncertain until it is secured for all of us and incorporated into our common life.
Jane Addams
The cheap drama brings cause and effect, will power and action, once more into relation and gives a man the thrilling conviction that he may yet be master of his fate.
Jane Addams
Things that make us alike are finer and stronger than the things that make us different.
Jane Addams
This dream that men shall cease to waste strength in competition and shall come to pool their powers of production is coming to pass all over the earth.
Jane Addams
Perhaps nothing is so fraught with significance as the human hand, this oldest tool with which man has dug his way from savagery, and with which he is constantly groping forward.
Jane Addams
Nothing could be worse than the fear that one had given up too soon, and left one unexpended effort that might have saved the world.
Jane Addams
With all the efforts made by modern society to nurture and educate the young, how stupid it is to permit the mothers of young children to spend themselves in the coarser work of the world!
Jane Addams
Keep friends close but keep enemies closer.
Jane Addams
Perhaps nothing is so fraught with significance as the human hand.
Jane Addams
Hundreds of poor laboring men and women are being thrown into jails and police stations because of their political beliefs. In fact, an attempt is being made to deport an entire political party.
Jane Addams
