Famous quotes containing the word reform:

    “Every reform was once a private opinion, and when it shall be a private opinion again, it will solve the problem of the age.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “When I go into a museum and see the mummies wrapped in their linen bandages, I see that the lives of men began to need reform as long ago as when they walked the earth. I come out into the streets, and meet men who declare that the time is near at hand for the redemption of the race. But as men lived in Thebes, so do they live in Dunstable today.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “You have to make more noise than anybody else, you have to make yourself more obtrusive than anybody else, you have to fill all the papers more than anybody else, in fact you have to be there all the time and see that they do not snow you under, if you are really going to get your reform realized.”
    —Emmeline Pankhurst (1858–1928)
