UP TO MOTHERS.

God pity us. If mothers had failed as fathers have, God would have dumped you into hell long ago.

God bless the women. I believe in women’s rights.

If some of you women had to get to heaven on the testimony of your washerwomen, would you make it?

If you see a kid with its stockings hanging down like the skin on a rhinoceros, and a dirty nose, it don’t take a prophet to say, “Ma’s gone to the club.”

Outlawism is not settled by the street mob—it is settled in the home.

I haven’t much faith in the woman who talks heaven and makes her home a hell.

Don’t tell the children what you don’t mean.

Don’t talk about your neighbors or anybody else.
