Jane Addams
Social advance depends as much upon the process through which it is secured as upon the result itself.
Jane Addams
The worth of every conviction consists precisely in the steadfastness with which it is held.
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
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
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
Private beneficence is totally inadequate to deal with the vast numbers of the city's disinherited.
Jane Addams
Much of the insensibility and hardness of the world is due to the lack of imagination which prevents a realization of the experiences of other people.
Jane Addams
If the meanest man in the republic is deprived of his rights,then every man in the republic is deprived of his rights.
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
The mass of men seldom move together without an emotional incentive.
Jane Addams
