Jane Addams - The Mother of Social Workers

Jane Addams made friends easily by being nice to people. She cared about poor people and welcomed them to a special home in Chicago, Illinois called Hull House. Her work at this home changed people's lives. By being so concerned about them, she shared the wonderful gift that costs no money: the gift of FRIENDSHIP.

Quotes:

"Action indeed is the sole medium of expression for ethics."

"We slowly learn that life consists of processes as well as results, and that failure may come quite as easily from ignoring the adequacy of one's method as from selfish or ignoble aims."

"Civilization is a method of living and an attitude of equal respect for all people."

"America's future will be determined by the home and the school. The child becomes largely what he is taught; hence we must watch what we teach, and how we live."

"The excellent becomes the permanent."
