• Enseñamos a las niñas a encogerse, a hacerse más pequeñas. Les decimos: 'Puedes tener ambición, pero no demasiada. Debes aspirar a tener éxito, pero no demasiado. De lo contrario, amenazarás al hombre'. Como soy mujer, se espera de mí que aspire al matrimonio. Se espera de mí que tome las decisiones de mi vida teniendo siempre presente que el matrimonio es lo más importante. Ahora bien, el matrimonio puede ser una fuente de alegría, amor y apoyo mutuo, pero ¿por qué enseñamos a las chicas a aspirar al matrimonio y no enseñamos lo mismo a los chicos?

• To pay attention to the actual core of the movement - that would be pretty hard. Can you concentrate for example on either the policy issues or the creation of functioning democratic communities of mutual support and say, well, that's what's lacking in our country that's why we don't have a functioning democracy - a community of real participation. That's really important. And that always gets smashed.

• It has been the scheme of the Christian Church, and of all the other invented systems of religion, to hold man in ignorance of the Creator, as it is of Government to hold man in ignorance of his rights. The systems of the one are as false as those of the other, and are calculated for mutual support.

• When an individual wishes to stand in opposition to authority, he does best to find support for his position from others in his group. The mutual support provided by men for each other is the strongest bulwark we have against the excesses of authority.

• Man is appealed to be guided in his acts, not merely by love, which is always personal, or at best tribal, but by his perception of his oneness with each human being. In the practice of mutual aid, which we can re-trace to the earliest beginnings of evolution, we thus find the positive and undoubted origin of our ethical conceptions; and we can affirm that in the ethical progress of man, mutual support- not mutual struggle- has had the leading part.

• In honoring the Wright Brothers, it is customary and proper to recognize their contribution to scientific progress. But I believe it is equally important to emphasize the qualities in their pioneering life and the character in man that such a life produced. The Wright Brothers balanced sucess with modesty, science with simplicity. At Kitty Hawk their intellects and senses worked in mutual support. They represented man in balance, and from that balance came wings to lift a world.
