For this Day:

;

count the ways...

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach. 
-Elizabeth Barrett Browning, poet (1806-1861)

Public moral & peace

A full belly to the labourer is, in my opinion, the foundation of public morals and the only source of real public peace. 
-William Cobbett, journalist, pamphleteer, and farmer (1763-1835)

overcome inhuman...

All that separates, whether of race, class, creed, or sex, is inhuman, and must be overcome. 
-Kate Sheppard, suffragist (1847-1934)

jungle of weeds...

If we had paid no more attention to our plants than we have to our children, we would now be living in a jungle of weeds. 
-Luther Burbank, horticulturist (1849-1926)
