Additional quotes by Sarah Josepha Hale
In this age of innovation, perhaps no experiment will have an influence more important on the character and happiness of our society, than the granting to females the advantages of ... education. The honor of this triumph ... belongs to the men of America. They appear willing to risk the hazard of proving, experimentally, whether that degree of literature, which only can qualify woman to become ... an instructive as well as agreeable friend, be compatible with the cheerful discharge of her domestic duties, and that delicacy of feeling, and love of retirement, which nature so obviously imposes on the sex.
O, beautiful rainbow, </br> All woven of light! </br> There's not in thy tissue, </br> One shadow of night:— </br> It seems as heav'n opened, </br> When thou dost appear, </br> And a visible presence </br> Of angels drew near, </br> And sung the rainbow, </br> The rainbow— </br> The smile of God is here.
