More quotes by Jane Addams
The mass of men seldom move together without an emotional incentive.
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
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
Keep friends close but keep enemies closer.
Jane Addams

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
It is as easy for most of us to keep from stealing our dinners as it is to digest them, and there is quite as much voluntary morality involved in one process as the other.
Jane Addams
Young people need pleasure as truly as they need food and air.
Jane Addams
It is easy to become the dupe of a deferred purpose, of the promise the future can never keep.
Jane Addams
We are learning that a standard of social ethics is not attained by travelling a sequestered byway, but by mixing on the thronged and common road where all must turn out for one another, and at least see the size of one another's burdens.
Jane Addams
Intellectual life requires for its expansion and manifestation the influences and assimilation of the interests and affections of others.
Jane Addams
America's future will be determined by the home and the school. The child becomes largely what he is taught hence we must watch what we teach, and how we live.
Jane Addams
