“But I do believe that a woman’s truest place is in a home, with a husband and with children, and with large freedom, pecuniary freedom, personal freedom, and the right to vote”

Leave women to find their sphere.

The widening of woman’s sphere is to improve her lot. Let us do it, and if the world scoff, let it scoff if it sneer, let it sneer.

I know not what you believe of God, but I believe He gave yearnings and longings to be filled, and that He did not mean all our time should be devoted to feeding and clothing the body

Now all we need is to continue to speak the truth fearlessly, and we shall add to our number those who will turn the scale to the side of equal and full justice in all things.

The politician is the creature of the public sentiment — never goes ahead of it because he depends on it . . .

Make the world better.

The great majority of women are more intelligent, better educated, and far more moral than multitudes of men whose right to vote no man questions.

Every new truth has its birth-place in a manger, lives thirty years, is crucified, and then deified.

In education, in marriage, in religion, in everything, disappointment is the lot of women. It shall be the business of my life to deepen this disappointment in every woman’s heart until she bows down to it no longer.

A wife should no more take her husband’s name than he should hers. My name is my identity and must not be lost.

We have every reason to rejoice when there are so many gains and when favorable conditions abound on every hand. The end is not yet in sight, but it can not be far away. The road before us is shorter than the road behind.

I was a woman before I was an abolitionist. I must speak for the women.

To make the public sentiment on the side of all that is just and true and noble is the highest use of life.

Our victory is sure to come, and I can endure anything but recreancy to principle.

It is very little to me to have the right to vote, to own property, etc., if I may not keep my body, and its uses, in my absolute right.

If a woman earned a dollar by scrubbing, her husband had a right to take the dollar and go and get drunk with it and beat her afterwards. It was his dollar.

The more you believe in yourself, the happier you feel after.  

Notice patterns & believe them.

The worst thing is believing that you are alone in your journey when you are not.

Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied.

Not one person can make or break what I’m doing, except me or God.

Only the actions of a person speak about his personality and attitude towards you, do not believe the words, just observe and you will see the truth.

Be your own biggest fan, your own biggest believer, and put it on your back and carry the weight.

When I stopped believing in love, the universe sent you to remind me that love, true love, does exist, even for me.
