What are some famous Jane Addams quotes?

Answer 1

We have not wrecked railroads, nor corrupted legislature, nor done many unholy things that men have done; but then we must remember that we have not had the chance. • National events determine our ideals, as much as our ideals determine national events. • America's future will be determined by the home and the school. The child becomes largely what he is taught; hence we must watch what we teach, and how we live. • Unless our conception of patriotism is progressive, it cannot hope to embody the real affection and the real interest of the nation. • The essence of immorality is the tendency to make an exception of myself.
