“I will settle down & teach for the rest of my days.” — Alice Paul Quote

I will settle down & teach for the rest of my days.

I never doubted that equal rights was the right direction. Most reforms, most problems are complicated. But to me there is nothing complicated about ordinary equality.

I have joined the 'suffragettes' - the militant party on the woman suffrage question.

It was a feeling of loyalty to our own sex and an enthusiasm to have every degradation that was put upon our sex removed.

To me, it was shocking that a government of men could look with such extreme contempt on a movement that was asking nothing except such a simple little thing as the right to vote.

With the price of life these days, you've got to get everything for free you can.

The first step, my son, which one makes in the world, is the one on which depends the rest of our days.

I have days when I just feel I look like a dog.

If I don't feel like writing today or for a few days, I don't. And I don't think about it. It is not an obligation-it is the greatest privilege.

As to the presidency, the two happiest days of my life were those of my entrance upon the office and my surrender of it.
