“It’s too bad that our bodies wear out while our interests are just as strong as ever.”

I shall earnestly and persistently continue to urge all women to the practical recognition of the old Revolutionary maxim. Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.

Nothing is hopeless that is right.

I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.

I was born a heretic. I always distrusted people who know so much about what God wants them to do to their fellows.

To think, I have had more than 60 years of hard struggle for a little liberty, and then to die without it seems so cruel.

Women, we might as well be dogs baying the moon as petitioners without the right to vote!

How shall we ever make the world intelligent?

Our Job is not to make young women grateful. It is to make the ungrateful so they keep going. Gratitude never radicalized anybody.

Better lose me than lose a state.

The only question left to be settled now is: Are women persons? And I hardly believe any of our opponents will have the hardihood to say they are not.

If I could only live another century!

Away with your man-visions! Women propose to reject them all, and begin to dream dreams for themselves.

Wherever women gather together failure is impossible.

The older I get, the greater power I seem to have to help the world; I am like a snowball – the further I am rolled the more I gain.

Liberty, Humanity, Justice, Equality.

Every woman should have a purse of her own.

For a woman to be considered a celebrated beauty is not exactly a bad thing. I think we have to say that in all reality.

From heaven even the most miserable life will look like one bad night at an inconvenient hotel.

I’m good for some things, bad for a lot of things.

Yet I also believe that when you do unto others, blessings come to you as well. So if you don’t have a friend, be a friend. If you are having a bad day, make someone else’s day. If your feelings are hurt, heal those of another.

Nothing is more confusing than people who give good advice but set a bad example.

If your sanity requires you to talk less and feel more, so be it. You are not a bad person for not entertaining everyone.

The gratification comes, for me, in the doing of it. And once I’ve done it, I can’t do anything about it if it’s good or if it’s bad.

And I’ve been hurt hurt bad. I might be just twenty-six, but I’m an old woman in disguise twenty-six goin’on sixty-five.
