“I think God rarely gives to one man, or one set of men, more than one great moral victory to win.”

Christianity … that musty old theology, which already has its grave clothes on, and is about to be buried… A wall of Bible, brimstone, church and corruption has hitherto hemmed women into nothingness.

We must be true to each other.

We ask only for justice and equal rights-the right to vote, the right to our own earnings, equality before the law.

If, while I hear the wild shriek of the slave mother robbed of her little ones, I do not open my mouth, am I not guilty?

Leave women to find their sphere.

The widening of woman’s sphere is to improve her lot. Let us do it, and if the world scoff, let it scoff if it sneer, let it sneer.

I know not what you believe of God, but I believe He gave yearnings and longings to be filled, and that He did not mean all our time should be devoted to feeding and clothing the body

Now all we need is to continue to speak the truth fearlessly, and we shall add to our number those who will turn the scale to the side of equal and full justice in all things.

The politician is the creature of the public sentiment — never goes ahead of it because he depends on it . . .

Make the world better.

The great majority of women are more intelligent, better educated, and far more moral than multitudes of men whose right to vote no man questions.

Every new truth has its birth-place in a manger, lives thirty years, is crucified, and then deified.

In education, in marriage, in religion, in everything, disappointment is the lot of women. It shall be the business of my life to deepen this disappointment in every woman’s heart until she bows down to it no longer.

A wife should no more take her husband’s name than he should hers. My name is my identity and must not be lost.

We have every reason to rejoice when there are so many gains and when favorable conditions abound on every hand. The end is not yet in sight, but it can not be far away. The road before us is shorter than the road behind.

I was a woman before I was an abolitionist. I must speak for the women.

Real security can only be found in that which can never be taken from you – your relationship with God.

Jesus said go and make disciples, but so often we just sit and make excuses.

God takes pleasure to see you take your little steps; and like a good father who holds his child by the hand, He will accommodate His steps to yours and will be content to go no faster than you. Why do you worry?

It was not the volume of sin that sent Christ to the cross; it was the fact of sin.

In God’s garden of grace, even broken trees bear fruit…

Living by faith isn’t living with certainty. It’s trusting God in spite of unanswered questions and unresolved doubts.

You will never understand who you are until you understand who God is.

I have no time to waste on this planet being told what to do by those who think that God has given them instructions.
