 Books and opinions, no matter from whom they came, if they are in opposition to human rights, are nothing but dead letters. |
| Slavery and freedom cannot exist together. |
| Agitate! Agitate! Ought to be the motto of every reformer. Agitation is the opposite of stagnation - the one is life, the other death. |
| If God is pleased in making you sick and unhappy, I hate God. |
| Emancipation from every kind of bondage is my principle. I go for recognition of human rights, without distinction of sect, party, sex, or color. |
| No! on Human Rights and Freedom, on a subject that is as self-evident as that two and two make four, there is no need of any written authority. |
| All that I can tell you is, that I used my humble powers to the uttermost, and raised my voice in behalf of Human Rights in general, and the elevation and Rights of Woman in particular, nearly all my life. |
| I suppose you all grant that woman is a human being. If she has a right to life she has a right to earn a support for that life. If a human being, she has a right to have her powers and faculties as a human being developed. If developed, she has a right to exercise them. |
| When a man comes to me and tries to convince me that he is not a thief, then I take care of my coppers. |
| If you allow one single germ, one single seed of slavery to remain in the soil of America... that germ will spring up, that noxious weed will thrive, and again stifle the growth, wither the leaves, blast the flowers and poison the fair fruits of freedom. |
| She had her reward! - that reward of which no enemie could deprive her, which no slanders could make less precious - the eternal reward of knowing that she had done her duty. |
| I asked God if it was a sin and He didn't say anything. |
