When employers tell me they prefer married men, and encourage their men to have homes of their own, because it makes them so much steadier, I wonder if they have any idea of all that that implies.

Every article I wrote in those days, every speech I made, is full of pleading for the recognition of lead poisoning as a real and serious medical problem.

Illinois then had no legislation providing compensation for accident or disease caused by occupation.

From the first I became convinced that what I must look for was lead dust and lead fumes, that men were poisoned by breathing poisoned air, not by handling their food with unwashed hands.

There can be no intelligent control of the lead danger in industry unless it is based on the principle of keeping the air clear from dust and fumes.

It was also my experience at Hull-House that aroused my interest in industrial diseases.

Everything I discovered was new and most of it was really valuable.

When all you have to face life situations with the attitude forced on to you by society traditions, you will then regret not being the mad you used to be but will never be again.

The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.

We truly believe with hard work, dedication and perseverance, we can become the best at what we do. No one wants to become mediocre.

I think it's my responsibility, to speak up when something threatens our very future.

Leadership can be defined in one word - honesty. You must be honest with the players and honest with yourself.

I want a part where I can use my own hair, my own voice, and maybe even be literate.

Imagine my delight and awe when I discovered such a thing was a real genre - contemporary fantasy or urban fantasy. It was like having my birthday twice in one week and cookie dough for breakfast.

If at first you don't succeed, try management.

Because I dislike being quoted I lie almost constantly when talking about my work.

Nature is very un-American. Nature never hurries.
