Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in
life
are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these.

Marriage, to women as to men, must be a luxury, not a necessity; an incident of
life
, not all of it. And the only possible way to accomplish this great change is to accord to women equal power in the making, shaping and controlling of the circumstances of
life
.

The true woman will not be exponent of another, or allow another to be such for her. She will be her own individual self... Stand or fall by her own individual wisdom and strength... She will proclaim the "glad tidings of good news" to all women, that woman equally with man was made for her own individual happiness, to develop... every talent given to her by God, in the great work of
life
.

If a man's public record be a clear one, if he has kept his pledges before the world, I do not inquire what his private
life
may have been. I judge a man by his convictions of right, for a man's principles are the result of his better judgment, whilst his practice is influenced by his associations.

I pray every single second of my
life
— not on my knees but with my work... Work and worship are one with me.

Whichever way I turn, whatever phase of social
life
presents itself, the same conviction comes: Independent bread alone can redeem woman from her curse of subjection to man.

To grant woman an equality with man in the affairs of
life
is contrary to every tradition, every precedent, every inheritance, every instinct and every teaching. The acceptance of this idea is possible only to those of especially progressive tendencies and a strong sense of justice, and it is yet too soon to expect these from the majority.
