Julia Ward
Julia Ward
passion feels ornamentation
When I behold the passion for ornamentation, and the corresponding power, I feel as if women had so far shown what they are bad for, rather than what they are good for.
lying men soul
Every fallen woman represents a man as guilty as herself, who escapes human detection, but whose soul lies open before God.
dust heaven juice
Heaven knows what I have not been through with, since I saw you-dust, dirt, dyspepsia, hotels, railroads, prairies, tobacco juice.
hiking people faithful
I am confirmed in my division of human energies. Ambitious people climb, but faithful people build.
tea age life-is-like
Life is like a cup of tea, the sugar is all at the bottom!
new-year writing thinking
I shall stick to my resolution of writing always what I think no matter whom it offends.
country husband taken
We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies, Our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage, for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn All that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy, and patience. We, the women of one country, will be too tender of those of another country To allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs.
morning selfish heart
There is no hell like that of a selfish heart, and there is no misfortune so great as that of not being able to make a sacrifice. These two thoughts come to me strongly this morning. It is something to have learned these truths so that we can never again doubt them.
school faces taught
The language of the face is not taught by the schools; it is intuitive, and to the observant is always legible.
