“Words cannot describe the indignation a proud woman feels for her sex in disfranchisement.”

The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls.

The great lesson that nature seems to teach us at all ages is self-dependence, self-protection, self-support. In the hours of our keenest sufferings all are thrown wholly on themselves for consolation.

Oh, the shortcomings and inconsistency of the average human being, especially when this human being is a man trying to manage women’s affairs!

The heyday of woman’s life is the shady side of fifty.

Truth is the only safe ground to stand on.

After coming into contact with a religious man I always feel I must wash my hands.

I have spent over half my life teaching love and brotherhood, and I feel that it is better to continue to try to teach or live equality and love than it would be to have hatred or prejudice.

As always, it’s a pleasure to get together with our fans at training and feel that they’re even closer to us. Ever grateful for your support!
