“Why should we not pray to our mother who are in heaven, as well as to our father?”

Every discrimination against women in the constitutions and laws of the several States is today null and void, precisely as in every one against Negroes.

What an absurd notion that women have not intellectual and moral faculties sufficent for anything else but domestic concerns!

The prolonged slavery of woman is the darkest page in human history.

The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these.

I do not consider divorce an evil by any means. It is just as much a refuge for women married to brutal men as Canada was to the slaves of brutal masters.

I will cut off this right arm of mine before I will ask for the ballot for the Negro and not for the woman.

To be wedded to an idea may be, after all, the holiest and happiest of marriages.

Wherever, on the face of the globe or on the page of history, you show me a disfranchised class, I will show you a degraded class of labor.

Governments never do any great good things from mere principle, from mere love of justice.

I have given my life and all I am to it, and now I want my last act to be to give it all I have, to the last cent.

She who succeeds in gaining the mastery of the bicycle will gain the mastery of life.

It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death; but oh, thrice guilty is he who drove her to the desperation which impelled her to the crime.

Join the union, girls, and together say Equal Pay for Equal Work.

I pray every single moment of my life; not on my knees but with my work. My prayer is to lift women to equality with men. Work and worship are one with me.

What you should do is to say to outsiders that a Christian has neither more nor less rights in our association than an atheist.

Being persons, then, women are citizens; and no state has a right to make any new law, or to enforce any old law, that shall abridge their privileges or immunities.

My brother has not spoken to me in years. Something to do with Donald Trump or Jesus Christ or our horrible stepfather.

Did our fathers create silence or is it that what makes them our fathers?

During the Depression, my dad made radios to sell to make extra money. Nobody had any money to buy the radios, so he would trade them for dogs. He built kennels in the backyard, and he cared for the dogs.

My mom and my dad never pushed me into performing. They never prohibited me from trying anything, or being anything. They never restricted me in any way. For which I’ll be forever grateful.

My dad had been shortstop when he was in college, and you know, when you’re a kid, you want to be just like your dad.

My father was the only man I ever knew who really loved me unselfishly, who never used me for personal gain.

I’m born to be a father. And I’ve been looking forward to this all my life.

Our faith teaches that there is no safer reliance than upon the God of our fathers who has so singularly favored the American people in every national trial and who will not forsake us so long as we obey His commandments and walk humbly in His footsteps
