“Every man is a volume if you know how to read him.” — William Ellery Channing Quote

“Every man is a volume if you know how to read him.”

“One good anecdote is worth a volume of biography.”

“To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not, rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. this is my symphony.”

“I believe in work, hard work, and long hours of work. Men do not breakdown from overwork, but from worry and dissipation.”

“When the men kill, it is up to us women to fight for the preservation of life.”

“I think men are afraid to be with a successful woman, because we are terribly strong, we know what we want and we are not fragile enough.”
