Quotes by Frances Perkins (?)

“There was a stricken conscience of public guilt and we all felt that we had been wrong, that something was wrong with that building which we had accepted or the tragedy never would have happened. Moved by this sense of stricken guilt, we banded ourselves together to find a way by law to prevent this kind of disaster.”
― Frances Perkins

“The New Deal began on March 25th, 1911. The day that the Triangle factory burned.”

“Perkins visited the convent whenever she could. 鈥淚 have discovered the rule of silence is one of the most beautiful things in the world,鈥� she wrote to a friend. 鈥淚t preserves one from the temptation of the idle world, the fresh remark, the wisecrack, the angry challenge鈥�. It is really quite remarkable what it does”
