More quotes by 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
Social advance depends as much upon the process through which it is secured as upon the result itself.
Jane Addams
Things that make us alike are finer and stronger than the things that make us different.
Jane Addams
In a thousand voices singing the Hallelujah Chorus in Handel's Messiah, it is possible to distinguish the leading voices, but the differences of training and cultivation between them and the voices in the chorus, are lost in the unity of purpose and in the fact that they are all human voices lifted by a high motive.
Jane Addams
Keep friends close but keep enemies closer.
Jane Addams
Young people need pleasure as truly as they need food and air.
Jane Addams
As the acceptance of democracy brings a certain life-giving power, so it has its own sanctions and comforts. Perhaps the most obvious one is the curious sense which comes to us from time to time, that we belong to the whole, that a certain basic well being can never be taken away from us whatever the turn of fortune.
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
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 woman should have the ballot, because without this responsibility she cannot best develop her moral courage.
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 worth of every conviction consists precisely in the steadfastness with which it is held.
Jane Addams
The task of youth is not only its own salvation but the salvation of those against whom it rebels, but in that case there must be something vital to rebel against and if the elderly stiffly refuse to put up a vigorous front of their own, it leaves the entire situation in a mist.
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
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
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 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
Perhaps nothing is so fraught with significance as the human hand.
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
