Lydia M. Child
I will work in my own way, according to the light that is in me.
Lydia M. Child
Thy treasures of gold Are dim with the blood of the hearts thou hast sold Thy home may be lovely, but round it I hear The crack of the whip, and the footsteps of fear.
Lydia M. Child
We first crush people to the earth, and then claim the right of trampling on them forever, because they are prostrate.
Lydia M. Child
An effort made for the happiness of others lifts above ourselves.
Lydia M. Child
Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father.
Lydia M. Child

Lydia M. Child
It is impossible to exaggerate the evil work theology has done in the world.
Lydia M. Child
All who strive to live for something beyond mere selfish aims find their capacities for doing good very inadequate to their aspirations. They do so much less than they want to do, and so much less than they, at the outset, expected to do, that their lives, viewed retrospectively, inevitably look like failure.
Lydia M. Child
A human heart can never grow old if it takes a lively interest in the pairing of birds, the reproduction of flowers, and the changing tints of autumn leaves.
Lydia M. Child
But men never violate the laws of God without suffering the consequences, sooner or later.
Lydia M. Child
[U]sefulness is happiness, and... all other things are but incidental.
Lydia M. Child
Nature made us individuals, as she did the flowers and the pebbles but we are afraid to be peculiar, and so our society resembles a bag of marbles, or a string of mold candles. Why should we all dress after the same fashion? The frost never paints my windows twice alike.
Lydia M. Child
Work! work! that is my unfailing cure for all troubles.
Lydia M. Child
Love is the divine quality that everywhere produces and restores life. To each and every one of us, it gives the power of working miracles if we will.
Lydia M. Child
Genius hath electric power which earth can never tame.
Lydia M. Child
Woman stock is rising in the market. I shall not live to see women vote, but I'll come and rap on the ballot box.
Lydia M. Child
The civilization of any country may always be measured by the degree of equality between men and women and society will never come truly into order until there is perfect equality and copartnership between them in every department of human life.
Lydia M. Child
A reformer is one who sets forth cheerfully toward sure defeat.
Lydia M. Child
