Being A Woman Has Only Bothered Me

Being A Woman Has Only Bothered Me In Climbing Trees.

Out Of Our First Century Of National Life We Evolved The Ethical Principle That It Was Not Right Or Just That An Honest And Industrious Man Should Live And Die In Misery. He Was Entitled To Some Degree Of Sympathy And Security. Our Conscience Declared Against The Honest Workman's Becoming A Pauper, But Our Eyes Told Us That He Very Often Did.

To One Who Believes That Really Good Industrial Conditions Are The Hope For A Machine Civilization, Nothing Is More Heartening Than To Watch Conference Methods And Education Replacing Police Methods

But With The Slow Menace Of A Glacier, Depression Came On. No One Had Any Measure Of Its Progress; No One Had Any Plan For Stopping It. Everyone Tried To Get Out Of Its Way.

It Is Not The Nature Of Man, As I See It, Ever To Be Quite Satisfied With What He Has In Life.... Contentment Tends To Breed Laxity, But A Healthy Discontent Keeps Us Alert To The Changing Needs Of Our Time.
