No matter how much things may change, some truths never go out of style. Tell that to the unbelieving younger generation. Examples: You can buy a house, but not a home. You can buy a clock, but not time. You can buy a bed, but not sleep. You can buy a book, but not knowledge. You can see a doctor, but not get well. You can buy a position, but not respect. You can buy blood, but not life. You can’t even guarantee happiness. MORE TIPS FOR EVERYDAY LIVING:: 1. A day without sunshine is like night. 2. On the other hand, you have different fingers. 3. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name. 4. Remember, half the people you know are below average. 5. He who laughs last, thinks slowest. 6. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm. 7. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap.

In Oklahoma as elsewhere the Women’s Club Movement positively effected social change in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. American social mores during the colonial and early national period had consigned women to the home and to rearing children. Excluded from politics and work outside the home, women in the early 1800s found an acceptable social outlet by forming benevolent societies and church groups to assist the needy within their communities. Women gradually became more visible, outspoken, and organized as they worked to improve social problems beyond their local environments. By the 1840s Sarah and Angelina Grimké, Sojourner Truth, and other women championed the antislavery movement. In 1848 Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton campaigned for a constitutional amendment providing for woman’s suffrage. During the Civil War northern and southern women organized to raise money for medical supplies. Although many women’s clubs existed in the early nineteenth century, historian Karen J. Blair asserts that the term “Women’s Club Movement” more accurately refers to the literary and civic clubs that proliferated between the Civil War and World War II.
