Women's Voices: Quotations by Women
Quote collection assembled by Jone Johnson Lewis
Quotation: Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone.
["Solitude"]
Quotation: "If" is the motto of the dilettante
And idle dreamer; 'tis the poor excuse
Of mediocrity.
["If"]
Quotation: The splendid discontent of God
With chaos, made the world.
And, from the discontent of man
The world's best progress springs.
["Discontent"]
Quotation: Here, on this side of the grave,
Here, should we labor and love.
 ["Here and Now"]
Quotation: We flatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.
Quotation: So many gods, so many creeds;
So many paths that wind and wind,
While just the art of being kind
Is all the sad world needs.
["The World's Need"]
