Famous quotes containing the words foundation and/or staff:
“No genuine equality, no real freedom, no true manhood or womanhood can exist on any foundation save that of pecuniary independence. As a right over a mans subsistence is a power over his moral being, so a right over a womans subsistence enslaves her will, degrades her pride and vitiates her whole moral nature.”
—Susan B. Anthony (18201907)
“For the first fourteen years for a rod they do whine,
For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine,
For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve,
For the next matrons or drudges they serve,
For the next doth crave a staff for a stay,
For the next a bier to fetch them away.”
—Thomas Tusser (c. 15201580)
