Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought! Strike against manufacturing shrapnel and gas bombs and all other tools of murder! Strike against preparedness that means death and misery to millions of human beings! Be not dumb, obedient sales in an army of destruction! Be heroes in an army of construction! – Helen Keller

The belief that we are defending the highest good of the mothers of our race and the ultimate welfare of society makes every sacrifice seem trivial, every duty a pleasure. The pressings need spurs us on, the certainty of victory give us daily inspiration. — Carrie Chapman Catt
