“Every woman should have a purse of her own.”

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.

Forget conventionalisms; forget what the world thinks of you stepping out of your place; think your best thoughts, speak your best words, work your best works, looking to your own conscience for approval.

For a people is only as great, as free, as lofty, as advanced as its women are free, noble and progressive.

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

The work of woman is not to lessen the severity or the certainty of the penalty for the violation of the moral law, but to prevent this violation by the removal of the causes which lead to it.

Resistance to tyranny ius obedience to God.

The day may be approaching when the whole world will recognize woman as the equal of man.

Independence is happiness.

Suffrage is the pivotal right.

Modern invention has banished the spinning wheel, and the same law of progress makes the woman of today a different woman from her grandmother.

Those of you who have the talent to do honor to poor womanhood, have all given yourself over to baby-making.

Equal Pay for Equal Work.

I think the girl who is able to earn her own living and pay her own way should be as happy as anybody on earth. The sense of independence and security is very sweet.

Woman is the light of God.

There is nothing worse than solitude. Solitude can help a man realize himself; but it destroys a woman

We are powerful because we have survived, and that is what it is all about survival and growth.

Your real security is yourself. You know you can do it, and they can’t ever take that away from you.

Tears were for the weaker days, I’m stronger now.

I’ve reached the point where I hardly care whether I live or die. The world will keep on turning without me, I can’t do anything to change events anyway.

Who runs the world? Girls.

My definition of beauty is simplicity, elegance, and sensuality. I think that when a woman is in harmony with herself and remains true to her values, she will glow naturally.
