One who is a slaveholder at heart never recognizes a human being in a slave.

I recognize no rights but human rights - I know nothing of men's rights and women's rights.

Our fathers waged a bloody conflict with England, because they were taxed without being represented. This is just what unmarried women of property are now.

Duty is ours and events are God's.

I am a mystery to myself.

The whole land seems aroused to discussion on the province of woman, and I am glad of it. We are willing to bear the brunt of thestorm, if we can only be the means of making a break in that wall of public opinion which lies right in the way of woman's rights, true dignity, honor and usefulness.

I trust the time is coming, when the occupation of an instructer [sic] to children will be deemed the most honorable of human employment. If it is a drudgery to teach these little ones, then it is the duty of men to bear a part of that burthen; if it is a privilege and an honor, then we generously invite them to share that honor and privilege with us.
