January 27, 2017
Good afternoon, March for Life. I am Kellyanne Conway. Thank you. I am a wife, a mother, a Catholic, Counselor to President of the United States of America, and, yes, I am pro-life. It is such an honor to stand with the Vice President of the United States, and with so many leaders, families, and students from places near and far to defend the unborn. Your courage, your conviction, your resolve, and your faith are impressive -- and consequential. This is a new day, a new dawn for life. Why […]

Exceeding Beauty of the Earth - April 21, 1954
April 21, 1954
Speech to the sorority of women journalists, Theta Sigma Phi. The pleasures, the values of contact with the natural world are not reserved for the scientists. They are available to anyone who will place himself under the influence of a lonely mountain top, or the sea, or the stillness of a forest, or who will stop to think about so small a thing as the mystery of a growing seed. 1 am not afraid of being thought a sentimentalist when I stand here tonight and tell you that I believe […]

Address to the Women’s National Press Club - Dec. 5, 1962
December 5, 1962
This address is one of Carson’s most important statements following publication of "Silent Spring." My text this afternoon is taken from the Globe Times of Bethlehem, Pa., a news item in the issue of October 12. After describing in detail the adverse reactions to "Silent Spring" of the farm bureaus in two Pennsylvania counties, the reporter continued: “No one in either county farm office who was talked to today had read the book, but all disapproved of it heartily.” This sums up very neatly the background of much of the […]

Well, good morning, everyone. Thank you, Russ, for that kind introduction and for a little tour through Grand Rapids and some of my previous interests. And thank you for your work to develop this important report. And thank you all here for coming today.

March 4, 2015
It’s great to see you all here and to have you once again in the Capitol of the United States. It’s important for my colleagues to see you here. Half of the battle that we have in any place is that we be seen. And you know that because even though there are more women in the world than men, they tend not to see us. They tend not to see us. And it is only until we have those brave women who rise and who say, “No more. I […]
