Woman's great mission is to train immature, weak and ignorant creatures to obey the laws of God; the physical, the intellectual, the social and the moral.

The great want of our race is perfect educators to train new-born minds, who are infallible teachers of what is right and true.

The principle of subordination is the great bond of union and harmony through the universe.

... the physical and domestic education of daughters should occupy the principal attention of mothers, in childhood: and the stimulation of the intellect should be very much reduced.

... a large portion of those who demand woman suffrage are persons who have not been trained to reason, and are chiefly guided by their generous sensibilities.

... pure and intelligent women can be deceived and misled by the baser sort, their very innocence and experience making them credulous and the helpless tools of the guilty and bold.

Eating highly seasoned food is unhealthful, because it stimulates too much, provokes the appetite too much, and often is indigestible.

... all education must be unsound which does not propose for itself some object; and the highest of all objects must be that of living a life in accordance with God's Will.

To open avenues to political place and power for all classes of women would cause these humble labors of the family and school to be still more undervalued and shunned.

When the precepts and example of Jesus Christ fully interpermeate society, to labor with the hands will be regarded not only as a duty but a privilege.

We now come to the grand law of the system in which we are placed, as it has been developed by the experience of our race, and that, in one word, is SACRIFICE!

Knowing others is Wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment

I'm pretty much of the Shakespearean school. Dialogue is character. How we speak is who we are.

The Jews run all the banks. Well, we do. The Jews run the media. Well, we do. You know, I mean they're right about all that stuff.

Yoga is the practice of quieting the mind.

If there is a sense of reality, there must also be a sense of possibility.

For sight is woman-like and shuns the old.

Take time to be quiet.
