“If human beings can be trained for cruelty and greed and a belief in power which comes through hate and fear and force, certainly we can train equally well for greatness and mercy and the power of love which comes because of the strength of the good qualities to be found in the soul of every human being.”
“It seems to me that it is the basic right of any human being to work.”
“I do not think that I am a natural born mother... If I ever wanted to mother anyone, it was my father.”

“It may be that those whose work is their pleasure are those who most need the means of banishing it at intervals from their minds.”
“Sometimes, there is no harm in putting off a piece of work until another day.”
“We were not made by Nature to work, or even to play, from eight o'clock in the morning till midnight. We ought to break our days and our marches into two.”
