“When we can't dream any longer we die.”
― Emma Goldman
My grandmother because of how kind and caring she always is.
“The day will come when men will recognize woman as his peer, not only at the fireside, but in councils of the nation. Then, and not until then, will there be the perfect comradeship, the ideal union between the sexes that shall result in the highest development of the race.”– Susan B. Anthony [ This sums it up for me! ]
I like this quotation:
My grandma was the best. She was super sweet and kind to everyone and was such a rock to lean on. She also made the best friend chicekn and mashed potatoes everrrrrrr.
Corrie Ten Boom. She hid people from the Nazis. Such a scary time and yet she stood firm. It's like the quote you mentioned by Rosa Parks, "You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right."
