What was a quote that Clara Barton said?
I could not find any particular Clara Barton quote that was most famous. She did have a number of good ones, including
- "I may sometimes be willing to teach for nothing, but if paid at all, I shall never do a man's work for less than a man's pay."
- "The surest test of discipline is its absence."
- "This conflict is one thing I've been waiting for. I'm well and strong and young - young enough to go to the front. If I can't be a soldier, I'll help soldiers."
- "People should not say that this or that is not worth learning, giving as their reason that it will not be put to use. They can no more know what information they will need in the future than they will know the weather two hundred years from today."
- "You must never so much think as whether you like it or not, whether it is bearable or not; you must never think of anything except the need, and how to meet it."

What does the red cross do that Clara Barton found?
Red Cross Work
When Clara Barton saw the Red Cross in European countries when she was there helping in the American Civil War, she decided that the United States of America needs one. She set up the American Red Cross (at first only to help soldiers in the civil war, but it became an organization to help people experiencing other disasters-hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, etc.- as well.) She became president of the Red Cross when she was 60 and resigned from it when she was 83.(She was criticized and encouraged to step down from the position.
Women's Rights
Clara worked very hard to improve treatment to women. Women were not treated with respect or given equal opportunity. They were kind of thought to be worse than men and dumb.(which in my opinion make the people thinking that dumb.) Susan B. Anthony and Clara Barton made a good, strong team to stand up for what is right. To stand up for equal rights for men and women. They picketed outside of the White House for a long time. Woodrow Wilson ignored them as they asked to be treated the way they deserve. Officers from Washington, D.C. arrested the women picketing for "obstructing traffic."(when they only just stood outside the White House gates picketing for their rights and for America) They were sent to jails and refused to eat. They began force feeding the women. They truly were dedicated to helping the USA. Thank them for their contributions to our nation that was once so troubled.

What happens to all the money that you have paid into the chapter 13 bankruptcy if it is dismissed?
Wow...you really don't get it do you?
You failed to adhere to your sworn legal promises to pay for things.
YOU asked (probably even used the term "begged" in the request, for the court to protect you from the legal actions of those you owed. They agreed and gave you specific guidelines of what they would do, which is basically appoint a trustee to handle your financial affairs, and try to resolve them because you couldn't.
That amounted to him setting up a schedule to pay YOUR debts, using the assets/income you have or would get. You paid him, he pays your debts...generally forcing the creditors to accept less, or at least less than the agreement YOU made to pay them originally.
Virtually everything you paid, goes to pay your debts. (Maybe a new idea for you?) Not someones elses. Once the case is complete, excess debts are normally discharged by the court...so you had someone else take care of your financial matters, allowed you to pay differently than you agreed and then, if even that was too much after a while, he says you don't have to pay anymore, and all those that dealt with you don't get paid anymore.
If you failed to keep YOUR agreement with the trustee, who was doing all this for YOUR benefit, he can end it at any time. Then your out fending for yourself...and the creditors can do what ever they legally want to. See what you think is yours, really isn't....you never paid for it...you did in fact promise and contract that anything you make and what you have would not be yours but the one you owe.
