More from Lucy Stone
All over this land women have no political existence. Laws pass over our heads that we can not unmake. Our property is taken from us without our consent. The babes we bear in anguish and carry in our arms are not ours.
Lucy StoneLucy Stone It is time we gave man faith in woman — and, still more, woman faith in herself.
Lucy StoneLucy Stone I think God rarely gives to one man, or one set of men, more than one great moral victory to win.
Lucy StoneLucy Stone Christianity … that musty old theology, which already has its grave clothes on, and is about to be buried… A wall of Bible, brimstone, church and corruption has hitherto hemmed women into nothingness.
Lucy StoneLucy Stone We must be true to each other.
Lucy StoneLucy Stone We ask only for justice and equal rights-the right to vote, the right to our own earnings, equality before the law.
Lucy StoneLucy Stone If, while I hear the wild shriek of the slave mother robbed of her little ones, I do not open my mouth, am I not guilty?
Lucy StoneLucy Stone Leave women to find their sphere.
Lucy StoneLucy Stone 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.

Lucy StoneLucy Stone 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.
Lucy StoneLucy Stone The politician is the creature of the public sentiment — never goes ahead of it because he depends on it . . .
Lucy StoneLucy Stone Make the world better.
Lucy StoneLucy Stone 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.
Lucy StoneLucy Stone Every new truth has its birth-place in a manger, lives thirty years, is crucified, and then deified.
Lucy StoneLucy Stone 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.
