Barton

Famous quotes containing the word barton:

    [On being told that “every woman should stand with bared head before Susan B. Anthony”:] Yes, and every man as well.
    —Clara Barton (1821–1912)

    I have never worked for fame or praise, and shall not feel their loss as I otherwise would. I have never for a moment lost sight of the humble life I was born to, its small environments, and the consequently little right I had to expect much of myself, and shall have the less to censure, or upbraid myself with for the failures I must see myself make.
    —Clara Barton (1821–1912)

    ... this I conceive to be no time to prate of moral influences. Our men’s nerves require their accustomed narcotics and a glass of whiskey is a powerful friend in a sunstroke, and these poor fellows fall senseless on their heavy drills.
    —Clara Barton (1821–1912)
