What matter though the scorn of fools be given,
If the path followed lead us on to heaven!

More quotes by Sarah Josepha Hale

Oh! wondrous power, how little understood,
Entrusted to the Mother's mind alone
To fashion genius, form the soul for good,
Inspire a West, or train a Washington!

What a ready passport wealth gives its possessor to the good opinions of this world!

A man is never more self satisfied than when he is confirming a favorite theory.

Woman's empire, holier, more refined,
Moulds, moves and sways the fall'n but God-breathed mind,
Lifting the earth-crushed heart to hope and heaven.

What has made this nation great? Not its heroes, but its households.
