“I think bicycle has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance.”

Oh, if I could but live another century and see the fruition of all the work for women! There is so much yet to be done.

We ask justice, we ask equality, we ask that all the civil and political rights that belong to citizens of the United States, be guaranteed to us and our daughters forever.

The religious persecution of the ages has been done under what was claimed to be the command of God.

There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers.

If all the rich and all of the church people should send their children to the public schools they would feel bound to concentrate their money on improving these schools until they met the highest ideals.

No man is good enough to govern any woman without her consent.

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.

I really don’t like the gym. I like experiences, so I take any chance I get to go on a bicycle or on a hike.

Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race.

A man who has owned nothing but a bicycle all of his life feels suddenly wealthy the moment he buys an automobile…But this happy sensation wears off.

We are like an exquisite high-speed aircraft which for lack of a tiny part is left stranded beside the runway, rendered slower than a tractor or bicycle.

I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel – the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood.

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

My toys were those of a boy: skates, bicycles.

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.
