[U]sefulness is happiness, and... all other things are but incidental (Lydia M Child Quotes)
Flowers have spoken to me more than I can tell in written words. They are the hieroglyphics of angels, loved by all men for the beauty of their character, though few can decipher even fragments of their meaning (Lydia M Child Quotes)

We must not forget that all great revolutions and reformations would look mean and meagre if examined in detail as they occurred at the time (Lydia M Child Quotes)
Ah, my friend, that is the only true church organization, when heads and hearts unite in working for the welfare of the human race (Lydia M Child Quotes)
Affectation is fond of making a greater show than reality.... Nature and truth have never learned to blow the trumpet, and never will (Lydia M Child Quotes)
There have always been a large class of thinkers who deny that the world makes any progress. They say we move in a circle; that evils are never conquered, but only change their forms (Lydia M Child Quotes)
I keep working because I am quite sure that no particle of goodness or truth is ever really lost, however appearances may be to the contrary (Lydia M Child Quotes)
Philosophy and the arts are but a manifestation of the intelligible ideas that move the public mind; and thus they become visible images of the nations whence they emanate (Lydia M Child Quotes)
But men never violate the laws of God without suffering the consequences, sooner or later (Lydia M Child Quotes)
Every human being has, like Socrates, an attendant spirit; and wise are they who obey its signals. If it does not always tell us what to do, it always cautions us what not to do (Lydia M Child Quotes)
The cure for all the ills and wrongs, the cares, the sorrows, and the crimes of humanity, all lie in the one word ‘love’. It is the divine vitality that everywhere produces and restores life (Lydia M Child Quotes)
None speak of the bravery, the might, or the intellect of Jesus; but the devil is always imagined as a being of acute intellect, political cunning, and the fiercest courage. These universal and instinctive tendencies of the human mind reveal much (Lydia M Child Quotes)
You find yourself refreshed in the presence of cheerful people. Why not make an honest effort to confer that pleasure on others? Half the battle is gained if you never allow yourself to say anything gloomy (Lydia M Child Quotes)
Whoso does not see that genuine life is a battle and a march has poorly read his origin and his destiny (Lydia M Child Quotes)
Nature made us individuals, as she did the flowers and the pebbles; but we are afraid to be peculiar, and so our society resembles a bag of marbles, or a string of mold candles. Why should we all dress after the same fashion? The frost never paints my windows twice alike (Lydia M Child Quotes)
Woman stock is rising in the market. I shall not live to see women vote, but I’ll come and rap on the ballot box (Lydia M Child Quotes)
That man’s best works should be such bungling imitations of Nature’s infinite perfection, matters not much; but that he should make himself an imitation, this is the fact which Nature moans over, and deprecates beseechingly. Be spontaneous, be truthful, be free, and thus be individuals! is the song she sings through warbling birds, and whispering pines, and roaring waves, and screeching winds (Lydia M Child Quotes)
I think every individual, and every society, is perfected just in proportion to the combination, and cooperation, of masculine and feminine elements of character. He is the most perfect man who is affectionate as well as intellectual; and she is the most perfect woman who is intellectual as well as affectionate. Every art and science becomes more interesting, viewed both from the masculine and feminine points of view (Lydia M Child Quotes)
Home - that blessed word, which opens to the human heart the most perfect glimpse of Heaven, and helps to carry it thither, as on an angel’s wings. (Lydia M Child Quotes)
A human heart can never grow old if it takes a lively interest in the pairing of birds, the reproduction of flowers, and the changing tints of autumn leaves. (Lydia M Child Quotes)
Whoso does not see that genuine life is a battle and a march has poorly read his origin and his destiny. (Lydia M Child Quotes)
The cure for all the ills and wrongs, the cares, the sorrows, and the crimes of humanity, all lie in the one word ‘love’. It is the divine vitality that everywhere produces and restores life. (Lydia M Child Quotes)
Genius hath electric power; Which earth can never tame; Bright suns may scorch and dark clouds lower; Its flash is still the same. (Lydia M Child Quotes)
We first crush people to the earth, and then claim the right of trampling on them forever, because they are prostrate. (Lydia M Child Quotes)
Work! work! that is my unfailing cure for all troubles (Lydia M Child Quotes)
A reformer is one who sets forth cheerfully toward sure defeat (Lydia M Child Quotes)
Law is not law, if it violates the principles of eternal justice (Lydia M Child Quotes)
