More quotes by 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
I will work in my own way, according to the light that is in me.
Lydia M. Child
Not in vain is Ireland pouring itself all over the earth. The Irish, with their glowing hearts and reverent credulity, are needed in this cold age of intellect and skepticism.
Lydia M. Child
Work! work! that is my unfailing cure for all troubles.
Lydia M. Child
Genius hath electric power which earth can never tame.
Lydia M. Child
Reverence is the highest quality of man's nature and that individual, or nation, which has it slightly developed, is so far unfortunate. It is a strong spiritual instinct, and seeks to form channels for itself where none exists thus Americans, in the dearth of other objects to worship, fall to worshiping themselves.
Lydia M. Child
So easy it is to see the errors of past ages, so difficult to acknowledge our own!
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
Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father.
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
I keep working because I am quite sure that no particle of goodness or truth is ever really lost, however appearances may be to the contrary.
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
I think we have reason to thank God for Abraham Lincoln. With all his deficiencies, it must be admitted that he has grown continually.
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
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
Birds and beasts have in fact our own nature, flattened a semi-tone.
Lydia M. Child
The eye of genius has always a plaintive expression, and its natural language is pathos.
Lydia M. Child
Law is not law, if it violates the principles of eternal justice.
Lydia M. Child
It is right noble to fight with wickedness and wrong the mistake is in supposing that spiritual evil can be overcome by physical means.
Lydia M. Child
Yours for the unshackled exercise of every faculty by every human being.
Lydia M. Child
