More quotes by Lydia M. Child
Work! work! that is my unfailing cure for all troubles.
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
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
So easy it is to see the errors of past ages, so difficult to acknowledge our own!
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
The eye of genius has always a plaintive expression, and its natural language is pathos.
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
It is my mission to help in the breaking down of classes, and to make all men feel as if they were brethren of the same family, sharing the same rights, the same capabilities, and the same responsibilities. While my hand can hold a pen, I will use it to this end and while my brain can earn a dollar, I will devote it to this end.
Lydia M. Child
Make people happy and there will not be half the quarreling, or a tenth part of the wickedness there now is.
Lydia M. Child
Home - that blessed word, which opens to the human heart the most perfect glimpse of Heaven, and helps to carry it thither, as on an angel's wings.
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
Genius hath electric power which earth can never tame.
Lydia M. Child
Law is not law, if it violates the principles of eternal justice.
Lydia M. Child
Neither lemonade nor anything else can prevent the inroads of old age. At present, I am stoical under its advances, and hope I shall remain so. I have but one prayer at heart and that is, to have my faculties so far preserved that I can be useful, in some way or other, to the last.
Lydia M. Child
I will work in my own way, according to the light that is in me.
Lydia M. Child
Every human being has, like Socrates, an attendant spirit and wise are they who obey its signals. If it does not always tell us what to do, it always cautions us what not to do.
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 boughs of no two trees ever have the same arrangement. Nature always produces individuals She never produces classes.
Lydia M. Child
[U]sefulness is happiness, and... all other things are but incidental.
Lydia M. Child
Happiness consists not in having much, but in wanting no more than you have.
Lydia M. Child
