Famous quotes containing the words respect and/or match:

    I do not claim that all women, or a large portion of them, should enter into independent business relations with the world, but I do claim that all women should cultivate and respect in themselves an ability to make money.
    Ellen Demarest (1824–1898)

    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
