Nellie L. McClung
Women who set a low value of themselves make life hard for all women.
Nellie L. McClung
Disturbers are never popular - nobody ever really loved an alarm clock in action, no matter how grateful he may have been afterwards for its kind services!
Nellie L. McClung
War is the antithesis of all our teaching. It breaks all the commandments it makes rich men poor, and strong men weak. It makes well men sick, and by it living men are changed to dead men.
Nellie L. McClung
