“How shall we ever make the world intelligent?”

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!

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!

Our Lord needs from us neither great deeds nor profound thoughts. Neither intelligence nor talents. He cherishes simplicity.

The earth destroys its fools, but the intelligent destroy the earth.

Democracy without God is mans worship and elevation of himself and his own intelligence or humanism, where man becomes his own measure for morality, judgment, and justice.

Thus, the photons which constitute a ray of light behave like intelligent human beings: out of all possible curves they always select the one which will take them most quickly to their goal.

Intelligence is just one dimension of ability. Don’t limit yourself to it. Open up to instinct, intuition, creativity and thus possibility.

Distributed intelligence is the key to the advancement of human civilization. Dictatorships, communist countries, monarchies in the past all eventually collapsed because of their inefficiency in moving information.

Wit and humor do not reside in slow minds.

Dyslexia is not due to a lack of intelligence, it’s a lack of access. It’s like, if you’re dyslexic, you have all the information you need, but find it harder to process.
