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)

    It is too late—the world is too dark for any thought ahead. Others are writing my biography, and let it rest as they elect to make it. I have lived my life, well and ill, always less well than I wanted it to be but it is, as it is, and as it has been; so small a thing, to have had so much about it!
    —Clara Barton (1821–1912)

    I don’t know how long it has been since my ear has been free from the roll of a drum. It is the music I sleep by, and I love it.... I shall remain here while anyone remains, and do whatever comes to my hand. I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them.
    —Clara Barton (1821–1912)
