The common stock of intellectual enjoyment should not be difficult of access because of the economic position of him who would approach it.
Jane Addams
Private beneficence is totally inadequate to deal with the vast numbers of the city's disinherited.
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
In the unceasing ebb and flow of justice and oppression we must all dig channels as best we may, that at the propitious moment somewhat of the swelling tide may be conducted to the barren places of life.
Jane Addams
The lessons of great men and women are lost unless they reinforce upon our minds the highest demands which we make upon ourselves they are lost unless they drive our sluggish wills forward in the direction of their highest ideas.
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
Social advance depends as much upon the process through which it is secured as upon the result itself.
Jane Addams

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
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
Perhaps nothing is so fraught with significance as the human hand.
Jane Addams
As democracy modifies our conception of life, it constantly raises the value and function of each member of the community, however humble he may be.
Jane Addams
The essence of immorality is the tendency to make an exception of myself.
Jane Addams
