I preferred sewing to bossing little children.

I asked a man in prison once how he happened to be there and he said he had stolen a pair of shoes. I told him if he had stolen a railroad he would be a United States Senator.

You ought to be out raising hell. This is the fighting age. Put on your fighting clothes.

I know that there are no limits to which the powers of privilege will not go to keep the workers in slavery

Injustice boils in men's hearts as does steel in its cauldron, ready to pour forth, white hot, in the fullness of time.

Mourn the dead, fight like hell for the living

Sit down and read. Educate yourself for the coming conflicts.

I'm not a lady, I'm a hellraiser

God almighty made women and the Rockefeller gang of thieves made the ladies.

From loss breeds new opportunity

Be careful not to mistake insecurity and inadequacy for humility! Humility has nothing to do with the insecure and inadequate! Just like arrogance has nothing to do with greatness!

Don't let the things you don't have prevent you from using what you do have.

If my words fail, let my eyes and my heart be my language.

It is not the life that matters, but the journey.

Times change; years speed by; but Christmas continues sacred.

Bookstores always remind me that there are good things in this world.
