“It is time we gave man faith in woman — and, still more, woman faith in herself.”

The road before us is shorter than the road behind.

I return my tax bill without paying it. My reason for doing so is that women suffer taxation yet have not representation.

We want rights. The flour merchant, the house-builder, and the postman charge us no less on account of our sex; but when we endeavor to earn money to pay all these, then, indeed, we find the interest.

I expect to plead not for the slave only, but for suffering humanity everywhere. Especially do I mean to labor for the elevation of my sex.

I believe that the influence of woman will save the country before every other power.

Henceforth the leaves of the tree of knowledge were for women, and for the healing of the nations.

Too much has already been said and written about women’s sphere. Leave women, then, to find their sphere.

All over this land women have no political existence. Laws pass over our heads that we can not unmake. Our property is taken from us without our consent. The babes we bear in anguish and carry in our arms are not ours.

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

I do hope that some of my dissents will one day be the law.

I know now that it’s really important to feel beautiful. There is a power to that.

Japan, along with Malala, is playing a major role in realizing a world where all women shine.

Women are the best judges of anything we turn out. Their taste is very important. They are the theatergoers; they are the ones who drag the men in. If the women like it, to heck with the men.

Women make the world beautiful, they protect it and keep it alive.

As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.

One thing that concerns me is that today’s young women don’t seem to care that we have a fundamental instrument of government that makes no express statement about the equal citizenship stature of men and women.

When one of us shines, all of us shine.
