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
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
You do not know what life means when all the difficulties are removed!
