Possessions

Famous quotes containing the word possessions:

“We are told it will be of no use for us to ask this measure of justice—that the ballot be given to the women of our new possessions upon the same terms as to the men—because we shall not get it. It is not our business whether we are going to get it; our business is to make the demand.... Ask for the whole loaf and take what you can get.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

“... dependence upon material possessions inevitably results in the destruction of human character.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)

“Our wisdom lies as much at the mercy of fortune as our possessions do.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
