Quotes

Mothers of Men

Edit
  • Title Card: Newly released from the fetters of political inequality, Woman to-day enters a wider field of service for the common good - the winning and holding of public office. In this great adventure are opportunities for both success and sorrow - the chance of martyrdom to high ideals - to know strange new heartbreaks, and play a piteous part in tragedies never enacted before.
  • William L. Morse: Channing, I want you to cover the Women's Party meeting to-night. Tell our readers how the hens scratched and clucked - roast them to a frazzle!
  • Title Card: After a bitter campaign, wherein vile slander is opposed with a woman's dignity and wisdom, comes the high tension of election night.
  • Worthington Williams: You've won! The dissatisfied men gave us enough votes to put you over the top!
  • Worthington Williams: Clara, I'm still awaiting a decision - in my suit for possession of your heart and hand.
  • Big Bill Deavitt: I want you to take this Italian bootlegging trial that's coming up in your wife's court. I've promised to do everything possible to help this man come clear.
  • Dan Channing, journalist: I'm tired of learning how to slander women without being punished! I came here to report news, not to sling mud! I'm through with you and your cheap yellow rag!
  • Tony Morelli, bootlegger: Big Bill, he lay all da blame on Morse's paper an' Judge Williams. Maybe, if there be no more paper, no more judge - it would be better, eh?
  • Victor Romano: I feex it - we get rid of da newspaper an' da woman judge all same time!
  • Title Card: The crafty Italians put their victim at his ease.
  • Women's Party Leader: But what of your greater duty to womanhood? You must not give up your chance of being the first woman Governor. Your sisters the world over look to you - you cannot fail them now!
  • Clara Madison: I must find some way to realize my ideals - without sacrificing my husband. I must struggle on - somehow - for the sake of womanhood!
  • Title Card: Only a woman, in life's blackest moment, can draw upon the mysterious reservoirs of Love for strength to force a cheering smile.
  • Title Card: A tragedy of justice that tears a woman's heart - and gives the public a lasting memory of her unconquerable will.
  • Clara Madison: The world may find him guilty, but until I am certain of his sin - he is still my husband - my dearest!
  • Women's Party Leader: If women are to take their rightful place, we must render justice as sternly as men.
  • Title Card: [Last lines] When the wounds of the heart are healed, its reward is the hours of peace and love that make life a thing of lasting beauty.
  • Tony's Wife: Table manners are made, but spaghetti eaters - ah, they are born!
