“We want in England – women who will understand and feel what love of country means, and act upon it; who will lose thought of themselves, and their finery, and their pleasures, in a passionate effort to heal the sorrow and to destroy the dishonour, dishonesty, and vice of England; to realise that as mothers, maidens, wives, and sisters, they have but to bid the men of this country to be true, brave, loving, just, honourable, and wise, and they will become so, just as they will become frivolous, base, unloving, ashamed of truth and righteousness, if women are so; to be not content to live only for their own circles, but to take upon their hearts the burden of the poor, the neglected, and the sinful, for whom many now exercise a dainty distant pity and no more.”
STOPFORD BROOKE
“We are responsible, not only for doing, but also for leaving undone; else the servant who hid his lord’s talent in the earth would have escaped condemnation.”
Archbishop WHATELY
