Famous quotes containing the words paul and/or benedict:

    This world crisis came about without women having anything to do with it. If the women of the world had not been excluded from world affairs, things today might have been different.
    —Alice Paul (1885–1977)

    We have not the motive to prepare ourselves for a “life-work” of teaching, of social work—we know that we would lay it down with hallelujah in the height of our success, to make a home for the right man. And all the time in the background of our consciousness rings the warning that perhaps the right man will never come. A great love is given to very few. Perhaps this make-shift time filler of a job is our life work after all.
    —Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
