“Woman’s degradation is in mans idea of his sexual rights. Our religion, laws, customs, are all founded on the belief that woman was made for man.”

We found nothing grand in the history of the Jews nor in the morals inculcated in the Pentateuch. I know of no other books that so fully teach the subjection and degradation of woman.

If the Bible teaches the equality of women, why does the church refuse to ordain women to preach the gospel, to fill the offices of deacons and elders, and to administer the Sacraments…?

Nature never repeats herself, and the possibilities of one human soul will never be found in another.

Nothing adds such dignity to character as the recognition of one’s self- sovereignty.

God, in His wisdom, has so linked the whole human family together that any violence done at one end of the chain is felt throughout its length.

The woman is uniformly sacrificed to the wife and mother.

All men & women are created equal.

The happiest people I have known have been those who gave themselves no concern about their own souls, but did their uttermost to mitigate the miseries of others.

The Bible contains some of the most sublime passages in English literature, but is also full of contradictions, inconsistencies, and absurdities.

Social science affirms that a woman’s place in society marks the level of civilization.

To refuse political equality is to rob the ostracized of all self-respect.

When women can support themselves, have entry to all the trades and professions, with a house of their own over their heads and a bank account, they will own their bodies and be dictators in the social realm.

Self-development is a higher duty than self-sacrifice.

Woman’s discontent increases in exact proportion to her development.

I am always busy, which is perhaps the chief reason why I am always well.

The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls.

The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.

The general public has long been divided into two parts; those who think that science can do anything and those who are afraid it will.

Where there is nothing, there is God.

If you were not reasoned into your beliefs, you cannot be reasoned out of them.

It is my belief no man ever understands quite his own artful dodges to escape from the grim shadow of self knowledge.

Where there is no belief, there is no blasphemy.

Few men realize that their life, the very essence of their character, their capabilities and their audacities, are only the expression of their belief in the safety of their surroundings.

Nature does not know extinction; all it knows is transformation. Everything science has taught me-and continues to teach me-strengthens my belief in the continuity of our spiritual existence after death. Nothing disappears without a trace.
