“God forgives the sin of gluttony.”
—Catalan proverb, quoted in Colman Andrews, Catalan Cuisine.
“In my public statements I have earnestly urged that there rested upon government many responsibilities which affect the moral and spiritual welfare of our people. The participation of women in elections has produced a keener realization of the importance of these questions and has contributed to higher national ideals. Moreover, it is through them that our national ideals are ingrained in our children.”
